The Big Legal Lesson 2026: get involved


Deliver an inspiring lesson about the law in February 2026.

Join The Big Legal Lesson from 23 – 27 February 2026

From 2028, teaching about the rule of law will be mandatory across all key stages. We want all pupils in England and Wales to get ahead and experience a lesson about the law this February as they join The Big Legal Lesson.

To help you, we are providing a free lesson plan and assembly pack that introduces legal concepts in an age-appropriate way – whether you are in a primary school, secondary school or sixth-form college.

Pledge your school’s commitment below and we will email you links to The Big Legal Lesson resource pack in February 2026.

Please include a space in your postcode e.g. YC1 2CY

We may send you occasional email communications about our education programmes and resources, but you can opt out at any time using the links in our emails or by getting in touch: info@youngcitizens.org.
