• leadership qualities: a detailed look at key leadership qualities by examining different character types, and using fictional characters as examples
• the electoral/voting system: pupils will be introduced to the concept of voting systems and be given the opportunity to take part in an election
• the CPS and judicial system: a ‘crime’ is committed, and pupils are then led on an exploration of the workings of the Crown Prosecution Service and the judicial system
• social awareness, integrity, trust, confidence and enthusiasm: throughout the whole session, these key qualities are examined in detail
