Our university was founded almost a hundred years ago in the aftermath of the Great War. The men and women who built this new institution hoped that it would be not only a living memorial to the darkness of their recent past, but a beacon of hope for the future. Their aim was that sacrifices made in war should be commemorated through education and research that would change the world for the better.

Law in Children’s Lives: Secondary analysis
Grant: £19,297
July 6, 2016
This project undertakes secondary analysis of data gathered as part of the research project “Law in Children’s Lives” which used a tablet based game to explore the legal understanding of children aged 8-11 years.
This project follows on from an 18 month study, Law in Children’s Lives (LICL) funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) under its transformative research grant scheme. In this study we worked with children to develop a tablet-based game, Adventures with Lex which we then used as a research tool to assess the legal understanding of children aged 8-11 years and to find out in particular how far, if at all, these children perceive themselves to be empowered by law in their everyday lives.
