U.N.C.R.C. • The Convention of the Rights of the Child was ratified by the U.K. In 1991 • All duty bearers ( adults, schools, organisations, local authorities and governments) must be aware that children’s rights are: • Unconditional • Inalienable • Indivisible • Universal
UNCRC Values • Freedom • Dignity • Equality • Safety • The right to a voice These values form a web of support for children. If one or more rights are removed the others can fall through.
The Rights/Articles • There are 54 articles in all, though only 42 of them relate directly to children. • The R.R.S.A. is awarded to schools which have succeeded in placing the convention at the heart of the schools’ ethos. • It looks at four main areas: • Leading and Managing the RRS • Teaching and Learning about the Convention • Creating and Maintaining a Rights Respecting Ethos • Empowering children to become active citizens and learners
The Way Forward - Phase 1 In phase 1 we have to choose eight rights to focus upon. Our RRS Steering Group have selected the following rights: • Article 8 – the right to a name and nationality • Article 12: the right to say what you think should happen and be listened to • Article 14: the right to follow your own religion • Article 15: the right to meet your friends and join clubs • Article 24: the right to good food and water, to see a doctor if you are ill and to live in a clean environment • Article 28: the right to learn and go to school • Article 29: the right to be the best you can be while respecting others • Article 31: the right to relax and play
Let’s work together to Make Terrace Road a Rights Respecting School!
