At Protect and Teach, we believe children deserve an education that is politically impartial, grounded in evidence and supportive of genuine critical thought.
In this short video, Cathy Mudge explains why understanding the law matters and why schools should enable pupils to explore ideas, question claims and develop their own informed conclusions, rather than being directed towards particular political or ideological viewpoints.
We look at the importance of political impartiality legislation, evidence-based education and critical thinking, and what these principles mean in practice for schools, teachers, parents and pupils.
If you have questions about education policy, political impartiality or safeguarding, or there is an issue you think Protect and Teach should be examining, we’d like to hear from you.
