Civilians in the UK

Civilians in the UK are individuals who are not members of the military or police forces. They comprise the general population and play vital roles in society, contributing to various sectors such as healthcare, education, business, and the arts. Civilians have rights and responsibilities under UK law, including the right to vote and access education and healthcare.
