Citizenship relates to peace and justice in several ways, for example:

All pupils should develop a sound knowledge and understanding of the role of law and the justice system in our society and how laws are shaped and enforced;

Teaching should develop pupils’ understanding of democracy, government and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.

British values form part of these targets.

Pupils should be taught about:

• local, regional and international governance and the United Kingdom’s relations with the rest of Europe, the Commonwealth, the United Nations and the wider world;
• human rights and international law;
• diverse national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the United Kingdom and the need for mutual respect and understanding;
• the different ways in which a citizen can contribute to the improvement of his or her community, to include the opportunity to participate actively in community volunteering, as well as other forms of responsible activity.
