Fair go for all
Our civics programs teach the legal principles grounded in the rule of law that safeguard our rights and freedoms, ensuring all people can live without fear, discrimination or persecution.
Our future is in their hands
Freedoms only survive if each generation understands them.
Young people are growing up without clear understanding of what democracy is. Our freedoms cannot safeguard themselves. They depend on informed citizens who recognise their value and are willing to uphold them.

Why the rule of law
and Magna Carta matter
From the Magna Carta of 1215 to today, the rule of law upholds
our rights and freedoms.
The rule
of law is:
the concept that both the government and citizens know the law and obey it.
From a teacher this year:
“I would like to provide my sincere appreciation to your Rule of Law team for their professionalism, expertise and the education that was provided to our Legal Studies class during our recent excursion to the Downing Court.
Thank you for the support and guidance your provided to students throughout the day, who walked away with greater insight, appreciation and understanding of our legal system. As with previous years, it was invaluable.”
