In this short round up episode, we look back on what we have learnt in Series 2 about how law affects children and young people and why it’s important that we understand how the legal system works. We have discussed:

  • How the courts deal with different types of cases and the difference between criminal and civil courts
  • The work of the House of Lords and how people become members of the House of Lords
  • The appeal process and the work of the Supreme Court
  • The work of solicitors, barristers, magistrates and tribunals
  • The role of law in banning witchcraft and even Christmas!
  • How the law deals with children who get caught up in gangs and how to protect them from exploitation.

We would like to say a big thank you to all our Series 2 speakers for coming on the podcast and explaining all these legal issues in such a clear and interesting way.

Alma-Constance and Lucinda would love to hear from you!
