Project Fortitude is all about helping children and young people
understand that the law is there to help them and make them strong.
It's about being able to empower them through play and games.
We're working up to age 15 but also down to nursery age.
Normally we don't put law
and play together
But Project Fortitude does.
Fun
We have worked with children and
young people from the start of this project
so that the work that we produce accurately represents
the sorts of things that children experience on a daily basis
Taking part in the project is really important
so the more children that get involved the better picture we get.
I think it's good because it's looking at children's law
using their opinions.
Rules
Know where I stand.
Well historically children don't generally know about their rights
and the project aims to give them that information.
We'll be finding out what children think about legal rights
and responsibilities and rules.
The children may be involved in telling each other stories,
asking questions, it may involve more creative approaches.
And it being interactive makes it more memorable,
fun and a lot easier to recall.
And we plan for these games to be made available
to children across the UK and also adapted for use in other countries.
Games
Play
Law
The end goal is to have a range of playful resources
that we know that you can play and have fun with
but by doing that,
then you'll build up
legal muscle, legal strength.
Ultimately the project seeks to empower children
to discuss and weigh up the benefits
of using law in navigate life.
My rights
My responsibilities
Make me strong
We feel it's important for children to understand
that the law can help them
in a real broad range of situations
in their lives.
We are here to listen and
we are here to respond
and we are here to make sure that a
difference is made to young people's lives
This project is about giving them voice
so if they are in those risky situations
that they know they can seek help
and they can keep seeking help,
until somebody does helps them.
