Reviews / Votes
"The book is attractively produced using language and examples that Year 7 students would find interesting, relevant and easy to understand. For each section covered there is a clearly defined text box with the relevant aspects of British law explained in simple, everyday language - a real asset for students at the beginning of their KS3 Citizenship course."
