How are laws made

This scheme of work introduces learners to how laws are made in the UK and the different people involved in the parliamentary lawmaking process.
Through case studies, classroom discussions and sequencing activities, learners explore why new laws are introduced, how bills become Acts of Parliament, and the roles of Parliament, government, campaigners and citizens in bringing about legal change.
The scheme develops learners' understanding of the UK's democratic processes and can be delivered as a complete lesson or adapted for shorter sessions.
