Rights Respecting Schools

 
Welcome to our Rights Respecting Schools' Page


The purpose of our School Council is to raise awareness of the rights of the child. This is an essential component of our school's improvement plan. It puts the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as one of the main cores of our school's planning, practice, policies and ethos.

The ABCDE of  United Nations Convention of the Rights of a Child

UNIVERSAL  - Rights are for ALL  children

INHERENT –  Rights are there from BIRTH for all children

INALIENABLE –  Rights CANNOT be taken or given away

UNCONDITIONAL- Rights are for all children and DO not have to be earned

INDIVISIBLE –  All rights are EQUALLY  important - NO right is more important than another


All children, everywhere have all the rights.
All adults have a duty to look after all children
