Description

The story of Shamima Begum continues to hit the headlines as the news breaks that she will be entitled to legal aid to fight the decision made to revoke her citizenship. Opinions remain divided. Should tax payers foot the bill for her appeal? Was the original decision to revoke her citizenship legal?

What do your students’ think? Was the decision legal? Ethical? Our free resource pack helps answer some of these questions.

During the course of this three lesson unit students research what the law says about the rights of British citizens and critically examine whether there are any circumstances where it is legally or ethically appropriate to revoke a person’s citizenship.
