Your Active Citizenship Investigation

State what your investigation is about:

Explain whether your chosen issue was mainly a local issue, a national issue or a global issue.

This question assesses your ability to understand the scale of a citizenship issue. A 'local' issue is specific to a town or neighbourhood (e.g., a dangerous road). A 'national' issue affects the whole country (e.g., NHS funding). A 'global' issue transcends borders (e.g., climate change). Most issues have links between these scales. For example, plastic pollution in a local park (local issue) is part of a national waste strategy problem (national issue) and contributes to ocean plastic (global issue). A good answer will identify the primary scale and briefly explain these connections.
