Chapter 18: Key cross curricular issues in secondary

'Background' gives the background to citizenship and its implementation

'Schools' shows how schools can be proactive in implementing citizenship whilst

'Implementing' gives more detail on this and marries it with a school based task for trainees.

'Evaluate' can be used for this session, or just as a prompt for evaluating the
citizenship in a particular lesson
