Sir Bernard Crick honoured

At the Channel 4 Political Awards, on 14 February, Rt Hon David Blunkett MP accepted the prestigious Hansard Society Democracy Award on behalf of the late Sir Bernard Crick. Sir Bernard was nominated for the annual Hansard Society Democracy Award, which celebrates individuals or organisations which have advanced understanding of, and engagement in, parliamentary democracy. David Blunkett paid tribute to the work of Sir Bernard, in particular the influential Crick report which led to the introduction of citizenship as a national curriculum subject to teach young people about active citizenship.

The Award was presented by Peter Riddell, Chair of the Hansard Society.
