How does today link in with British Values?

How does today’s session link with British Values? Democracy: making decisions together, for example how we can tackle radicalisation and strengthen community cohesion. Rule of law: understanding rules matter for example collaborating with communities to create rules and codes of behaviour. Individual liberty: freedom for all, for example reflecting on differences and understanding we are free to live different lives without judgement. Mutual respect and tolerance: treat others as you want to be treated, for example sharing and respecting everyone.

Warning: Sharing Content Online Be careful of what you SHARE on social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, as you may end up being linked to extreme right groups. Do you really want that? Every time you share posts from group like this you are raising awareness and money for far right groups.
