Welcome to the Citizenship section of our website.

These pages are intended to provide resource material for teachers of Citizenship at Key Stages 1 and 2.

They have been designed to make life easy for teachers: the theme of each case is given at the top of the page while at the bottom there are some suggestions for class discussion. 

In the right-hand column are links to related websites which give practical information aimed at young children. 

You will find here stories of the courage of outstanding young people who have gone out of their way to help people in trouble. All of them have won a Royal Humane Society bravery award.

The Society supports the idea of Citizenship because we believe that everyone has a social responsibility to help where they can. 

Children should not be encouraged to put themselves in danger, but to deal with a crisis calmly and sensibly. If they witness an accident of any kind, they should first of all seek the help of an adult or, if they have a mobile phone with them, call the emergency services on 999.

The material is divided into 3 sections:

• award winners
• famous winners
• history of the Society
