British Values & Responsibilities
The Life in the UK test expects applicants to know five fundamental British values: Democracy, the Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, and Participation in community life. These values are often remembered by the mnemonic DRITP. UK residents have both rights (freedom of speech, fair trial, protection from discrimination) and responsibilities (obeying the law, paying taxes, jury service, respecting others).
