Who is it for?
Concise, up-to-date and readable, the Young Citizen’s Passport Online is for young people, teachers and parents – anyone who needs to know how the law affects them.
What does it do?
This site tries to give simple clear information about the law, especially
on subjects that particularly affect young people.
Details of how and where to get further help are also given, along with case studies showing how the law can work in practice.
In summarising the law, we have had to leave out some details that may be relevant to your own situation. So:
don’t rely on this site as proof of your legal rights
always
take further advice before taking any legal action
use
the Citizens Advice Bureau, or one of the many other advice centres
remember
that the law is always developing and changing
To the best of our knowledge we have described the law
as it stood on 1st December 2004.
