Parliamentarians and Schools
Get a politician into your school and give them a grilling!
The Hansard Society and Parliament’s Education Service have developed the Parliamentarians and Schools pack to helps teachers, MPs, Lords and students to organise a successful school visit.
Parliamentarians visits to schools increase young people’s understanding of Parliament’s work, impact and relevance, and give students the opportunity to express their own views on topical issues to their local MP or a Member of the House of Lords.
This free pack includes:
- A model to ensure a well structured and focused visit, which can be used by teachers, MPs and Lords;
- Student-led activities to allow them ownership over the day and the opportunity to have their say;
- Resources and activities to explore issues around parliamentary democracy and voting.
Give your students the confidence to question parliamentarians...organise a visit and get them engaged. To order your copy of the pack please email
