Citizenship and Participation

What does it mean to be British, and what makes a good citizen? This title covers what citizenship is, the rights and responsibilities of a citizen, our national identity and whether the concept of “Britishness” still has relevance in a modern society. It also looks at social participation and what it means to live in a democracy, including information on voting and government. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper reports, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
