Baroness Smith of Malvern (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2025

Debate

Schools: Citizenship Education

Contribution

The noble Baroness is not going to tempt me to suggest that we should have votes below the age of 16, but I agree that agency and being engaged broadly in social action as well as being able to benefit from active citizenship, which is often part of citizenship education in schools, is good for young people in a whole range of ways.
