I’m Jennifer Darch — a curriculum designer, trainer, and human rights educator with a background that’s taken me from comedy stages to corporate boardrooms to classrooms across the UK. My work has always centred on one belief: for democracy to be healthy, people need clear, accessible political education. An informed population is the foundation of a fair and functioning society.

Before creating the Left vs Right series, I spent years designing and delivering corporate training programmes on public speaking, assertiveness, equality, diversity and inclusion, cultural awareness, hate crime, and transgender awareness. Much of this work was shaped by serious case reviews, ensuring every resource was grounded in real‑world learning, safeguarding, and lived experience.

Over time, my focus shifted toward human rights, civic understanding, and political literacy. I saw how many adults and young people felt overwhelmed by politics — not because they lacked interest, but because the information was noisy, polarised, or inaccessible. That’s what inspired me to create calm, balanced, plain‑English resources that help people understand politics without pressure or partisanship.

Today, my store offers Citizenship teaching resources, PSHE materials, political literacy workbooks, A‑Level Politics revision tools, and UK–US comparison guides designed for teachers, students, families, youth workers, and first‑time voters. Everything I create is guided by three principles:

Clarity. Balance. Accessibility.

Whether you’re teaching a class, revising for exams, supporting a young person, or simply trying to make sense of the world, my aim is to give you tools that build confidence, spark curiosity, and strengthen democratic understanding — one simple idea at a time.
