Your Role in the Community

Becoming a British citizen or settling in the UK is an important step. It brings you new opportunities, but it also comes with responsibilities. Being part of a community means you can make it a better place to live and work.

Values and Responsibilities

Britain is a very diverse country. This means people from many different backgrounds live here. However, there are some shared values and responsibilities that everyone can agree on. Here are some important ones:

  1. Obey and Respect the Law: Always follow the rules and laws of the country. For example, do not steal or harm others.
  2. Respect the Rights of Others: Everyone has rights, and it is important to acknowledge and respect them. For example, if someone has a different religion, you should allow them to practice it freely.
  3. Treat Others with Fairness: Be fair to everyone. If you are playing a game, let everyone have a turn.
  4. Behave Responsibly: Take care of your actions. If you make a mistake, admit it and try to fix it.
  5. Help and Protect Your Family: Support your family members. For example, help younger siblings with their homework.
  6. Respect and Preserve the Environment: Take care of your surroundings. This can mean recycling or not littering.
  7. Treat Everyone Equally: No matter their sex, race, religion, age, disability, class, or sexual orientation, everyone should be treated the same. This includes being kind and considerate to all.
  8. Work to Provide for Yourself and Your Family: Try to earn a living to take care of yourself and your loved ones.
  9. Help Others: If a neighbour needs help, offer to assist them.
  10. Vote in Elections: Participate in local and national elections to have a say in how your community is run.

By accepting and practicing these values, you can become a full and active citizen in your community.
