Rights Respecting Schools

Rights Respecting Schools is an approach that integrates the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into everyday school life. It promotes a culture where children’s rights—such as safety, education, and respect—are understood, valued, and upheld by students, staff, and the community. This encourages mutual respect, inclusion, and responsible behavior, creating a positive environment for learning and development. Essentially, it helps schools foster respect and understanding, ensuring children’s rights are recognized and protected as fundamental to their well-being and growth.
