Schools and young people
The Crown Prosecution Services National Schools Project was first developed in 2007 by staff at CPS Derbyshire for their local schools in conjunction with Derbyshire County Council. Based on the National Citizenship Curriculum the pioneering lesson package teaches young people between the ages of 11 and 16 about the criminal justice system.
