Summary:
Ethics and Citizenship: Tools for Moral Decision-Making is a practical and accessible toolkit for use by teachers and educators when introducing the moral and social responsibility strand of citizenship education at Key Stages 3 & 4.

It provides a logical interactive framework for applying specific decision-making skills to any social issue or moral dilemma they may encounter in their individual lives and wider communities.
