Resources help teach citizenship

A resource pack that provides materials to help early years practitioners encourage young children to participate in political, economic, social and cultural life has been produced by Learning and Teaching Scotland. The pack, Education for Citizenship in Scotland: Early Years Audit Materials, is designed to support the Education for Citizenship in Scotland framework, launched in June 2002, which applies to education for three- to 18-year-olds and aims to develop young people's capability for citizenship.

The pack includes case studies from early years settings across Stirling.
