Education
Our educational resources are designed to help young people (aged 8-18) understand the vital role of policing in a civil society, while recognising the courage and sacrifice of those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our communities.
Developed in collaboration with the National Memorial Arboretum Learning Team and the University of Staffordshire Institute of Policing, our educational resources aim to deepen students’ understanding of the Peelian Principles, promote responsible citizenship, and strengthen trust between communities and law enforcement.
Beyond policing, these resources address broader societal challenges, including law and order, community cohesion, and the responsibilities of active citizenship. Through engaging and interactive content, students will explore key themes such as policing history, ethical decision-making, and the wider impact of policing on society.
Resources for Primary Schools
The National Memorial Arboretum Learning Team has developed a comprehensive educational programme designed to give young people a deeper understanding of policing, its history, and its vital role in community service, while also honouring those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
Resources for Secondary Schools
The University of Staffordshire Institute of Policing has developed expert-led content that blends research and educational insights to create a meaningful and impactful learning experience for students. By combining academic expertise with real-world perspectives, the University seeks to deepen understanding of policing, encourage critical thinking about law enforcement’s role in society, and inspire the next generation of responsible citizens.
