Public Education
This working group held its first meeting in October 2022. The goal of the project was to promote better awareness of young people’s rights and the routes to access and enforce them, and how best to do so across the UK.
The working group explored opportunities to collaborate with existing school and youth resources, and those being developed, to try to raise awareness of young people’s rights and to improve their understanding of exercising them within the administrative justice system.
The project was aimed at secondary school students between the ages of 11-18 to improve their awareness and knowledge of their rights; with the overall aim of every student understanding the constitution, and why it is important, by the time they have finished secondary school.
The overall objective of the group was to increase awareness in young people of their (and their families’) rights and how to access them in administrative law; this included how to appeal a decision by a public body and where to seek redress to help them resolve their problem.
This group has currently been put on hold.
