Slide8

According to

the government & Ofsted

, 'fundamental British values' are:

Democracy

.

The rule of law.Individual liberty and mutual respect.Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.Slide9

According to the

DfE

, British Values are;

Being able to influence the decision making process through the democratic process

Knowing that living under the rule of law protects the individual

Knowing that some public bodies (like the Courts) are independent of the control of politiciansHaving the freedom and protection to choose and hold the belief / faith you wantAccepting that other people have their own faiths / beliefs / opinions, and that this is tolerated and not be the cause of discriminatory behaviourBeing able to identify and combat discriminationSlide10

Why do we need to know this?

Because OFSTED say we do

Because the government say that schools need to teach students about them

Because we want a fair society

Because of Extremism and Radicalisation

To keep our community safeSlide11

What is ‘Extremism’?

“…Vocal or active opposition to fundamental british values, including democracy, rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs;

And calls for the death of our armed forces, whether in this country or oversees…”Slide12

What is ‘Radicalisation’?

“…

is a process by which an individual or group comes to adopt increasingly

extreme

political, social, or religious

ideals (views) and aspirations (intentions) that reject or undermine the status quo (norm) or reject and/or undermine contemporary (modern) ideas and expressions of freedom of choice (equality).…”Slide13

Not all extremism is about Islam, the majority Muslims are not extremistsSlide14

Michael

Adebolajo

He came from a Christian family in Romford on the border of London and Essex. 

He had plenty of white

friends…His

parents would take him to church every Sunday and he was taught by his mother how to pray. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25424290

Now serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 45 years in Frankland Prison.Slide24

The organisations and individuals behind the various extremist groups need to recruit people to carry out acts of extremism because they are against the law.

They want other people to commit crimes for them.Slide25

Democracy

Being able to influence the decision making process through the democratic process

This means being able to vote for a Government in elections that are free and fair.

Anyone can be an MP as long as they;

Are over 18

Are British / Irish / Member of the Commonwealth or Republic of Ireland or Cyprus or Malta

You can find 10 people in the constituency to support you

Pay a deposit of £500

Are

not

a Policeman, Judge, Bishop or LordAre

not currently bankruptHave not

committed a criminal offence where you were in jail for more than a yearSlide26

Because anyone can try to be an MP, lots of people do – even if they have no hope. That’s being British!Slide27

Not all countries have the same values as we do in Britain.

Some countries do not have democracy, their leaders are not chosen by the people who live in that country.

Countries such as Iran are

Theocracy

, where the decisions are made by the head of a religious hierarchy.

Countries such as Oman, Brunei, Qatar, Saudi Arabia are Monarchies, where a single person inherits the power of rule and lawCountries such as Russia, Cuba, China and North Korea are Single Party States where one political party decides the laws and how the country is runCountries can also be

Military States where those who are in charge of the armed forces decide how the country should be runSlide28

The rule of law

Knowing that living under the rule of law protects the

individual

We have laws in place to protect the rights and freedom of all citizens

.

It is illegal to have a pigsty in front of your house that can be seen!

It is illegal to sing a rude song in the street

It is illegal to play ‘knock-door-run’

It is illegal for a landlord to allow anyone to become drunk in their pub

In London, you can not fire a cannon or any weapon larger within 300 yards of a house

And you are no allowed to drive cattle through any London street between 10am and 7pm - but you can afterAnd you are not allowed to use a taxi, the bus or the tube if you have the PlagueAnd the Black cabs are not allowed to carry rabid dogs or corpses

Only the Queen can eat a Mute SwanIt is illegal to be drunk and in charge of a cow in ScotlandNo person may enter the wreck of the Titanic without getting permission (despite it being more than 3 miles under the sea)

Polish potatoes are banned from the UKAnd finally, it is illegal to cause a nuclear explosion Slide29

Not all countries have the same values as we do in Britain.

Some countries have laws which do not allow people the same basic freedoms as we do in Britain.

The countries coloured in red have laws against being homosexual!Slide30

Individual liberty and mutual respect

In Britain, as long as we do not break the law, we can live as we choose to and have our own opinions about things

.

We value people’s rights to express their own opinions and feelings. To ‘live and let live’.

We do have laws such as Libel and Slander though to protect people when things are written or said that are not true.

Not all countries have the same values as we do in Britain.

Some countries do allow people individual liberty.

Eight social media activists in Iran have been sentenced to a total of 127 years in prison, after they criticised the country’s government on Facebook.

An

Iranian court found them guilty of using the pages to spread anti-government propaganda,

attempt to undermine national security, and insult Iran’s leaders. It is unclear whether they were acting together.Following a wave of protests against the re-election of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009, the Iranian government banned websites including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter which it believed were instrumental in organising dissent.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-sentences-eight-facebook-activists-to-total-of-127-years-in-prison-for-criticising-government-9605284.html Slide32

Tiananmen Square, Beijing China 1989Slide33

The Chinese government response to student protests!Slide34

Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

.

Accepting that other people have their own faiths, beliefs, opinions, and that this is tolerated and must not be the cause of discriminatory behaviour

Everyone

should be

treated the same regardless of sex, race, religion or sexual orientationSlide35

Some countries are not accepting of people with different faiths and beliefs and do not promote equality.

Here are some laws passed by the Taliban in Afghanistan:

A complete ban on ;

Music, Television, Internet, Keeping birds,

Kite flying, Reading Books ( Unless they be of religious content )Women must not:Gain an education, have employment, leave home without permission of father or husband, walk outside without being accompanied by a male family member, wear Western clothes, wear men’s clothes, wear make up, wear perfume, laugh in public, have their photograph taken, paint their nails, wear shoes with ' clicking ' heels, talk to males unless they are relatives, including in their own homes, ride in taxis, ride bicycles, use public baths, appear on the balcony of their own home, even in full burqa, be seen at the windows of their own home, even in full

burqa, attempt suicide. Slide36

British Values

' are:

Democracy

.

The

rule of law.Individual liberty and mutual respect.Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.Slide37

So how do I keep British values?

Most of the values we think of as British are common to most areas around the world. The only difference is we make more of an effort to do it every day.

Use your vote, there are areas in the world where it makes no difference; it does here

Feel safe that there are laws that protect you; there are other areas of the world where the opposite is true

Be happy that 800 years ago, The Magna

Carta was signed that prevented justice being bought, break the law and you will be punished no matter who you are or how rich you areBelieve what you want Accept people can say what they like in a free societyHowever, if it is offensive and threatens any of the values above, make a stand against itSimply put, do your civic duty, treat others like you want to be treated, and stand up for those that are pushed around
