The Citizenship Foundation

Lawyers in Schools

Since the beginning of 2007 we have been involved in a programme that involves our trainees and other fee earners delivering the Citizenship part of the national curriculum to 14-16 year old pupils at the Mulberry School (www.mulberry.towerhamlets.sch.uk ).

The programme is arranged by a charity called the Citizenship Foundation (www.lawyersinschools.org.uk) whose aim is to “… foster understanding and respect for law, justice, democracy and for different opinions, values and cultures.”

The firm’s involvement was reported in The Times Student Law section published on 16 October in these terms: “Trainees at Kennedys are taking part in a project with the Citizenship Foundation to help to provide the legal side of the national curriculum citizenship courses at a nearby girls’ school.
