The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain supports the personal and social development of young people through an established network of young people’s clubs, which cover the whole of the United Kingdom. The clubs’ objective is to provide opportunities, which help and support young people in achieving their personal goals and becoming responsible citizens.

Citizenship is increasingly recognised by schools as a vital area of personal, social and health education (PSHE). The Barney & Echo project has been designed to support teachers and parents in addressing drugs, alcohol and tobacco (The Magic Mirror), bullying and vandalism (A Friendship Made), gang and knife crime (Echo’s New Watch) and internet safety and cyber bullying (Caught In The Web) with key stage 1 and 2 children.

The resources are punctuated by activities, which develop the learning objectives for the children. The books are fun and interactive, supporting the PSHE curriculum for primary school teachers as part of the children’s citizenship education.
