Citizenship at key stage 3 (Year 7-9) Unit 07: Local democracy
In this unit, pupils explore issues of concern within their local community and look at the role of local government in everyday life. They research policies, and find out which local government departments are responsible for dealing with particular issues. They investigate how local decisions are made and consulted upon. They present and discuss their findings in a public meeting. The unit also allows pupils to experience and participate in local democracy.
