The Association state:

ACT is the subject association for all those engaged in teaching and supporting high quality Citizenship education in schools and colleges.

We work to transform the lives of children and young people through high quality Citizenship education. We lobby those in power for policies and resources to develop and support the subject.

We achieve our aims by providing:

• membership services and education programmes that develop and promote Citizenship education;

• professional development, training and networking opportunities; and

• advocacy for the subject, research and strategic policy advice.
