Democratic Education Framework

The UK’s first Democratic Education Framework is designed to help you strengthen young people’s engagement with democracy. It helps schools and educators reflect on their current approach to democratic education and identify practical next steps. Use it to explore what strong provision can look like, assess where you are now and plan how to build young people’s knowledge, confidence and skills.
