Develop Citizenship skills by running a Mock Trial event. Pack includes teaching notes and a comprehensive Resources Pack to help you set up and run an informative and fun event with up to 250 students.

Student aptitude is assessed by taking a simple quiz which suggests which group they are best suited to: defence, prosecution, forensic science team, witnesses, court officials, youth offending team or press.

Activities are suggested for each group with particular focus on the witnesses (spot the difference, video observation, E-FIT) and forensic science team (ideas for experiments/investigations with good practice and technician notes).
