This unit uses issues surrounding the law on animal welfare to introduce pupils to the role and function of the law at a local, national and global level. It encourages the development of knowledge and understanding in citizenship through skills and participation. Pupils approach the subject with some prior knowledge and understanding, and this enables them to engage in discussion, consider the views of different interest groups and think about what the law should say on the topic.
The issues drawn on here represent just one possible example, and could be replaced in accordance with the interests of the teacher and the class and the availability of suitable resource material. Any topic chosen should be used to exemplify political issues and procedures, in order to develop pupils' understanding of the importance of parliamentary decisions and the relevance to their own lives.
