Rights Respecting Schools

Whats all thisrights stuff about?

• UNCRC stands for the United Nations Convention on
  the Rights of the Child.
• Its a list of rights that all children,
  everywhere in the world, have.

3
What are these rights for?

• The rights on the list are all the things that
  children and young people need to make sure that
  they are
• healthy,
• happy and
• safe

4
How many rights are there?

• There are 54 articles in the list, and 42 of
  these are rights for children (the others are
  about how adults and governments should work
  together to make sure all children get all their
  rights

5
Responsibilities go with these rights!

• How do we do that?
• We need to talk to each other, using the language
  of rights and responsibilities, to make sure we
  receive our rights and responsibilities
• For example Article 28 says I have a right to
  learn. How can I make sure that others learn?

Are these children receiving their rights?

So, what will we do next?

• Come along to Pupil Leadership Meetings every
  Monday at 1.15pm room F036.
• There will be focus in class and at assemblies on
  your rights.
• Your rights will be displayed around the school
  and in your classes.

8
How will we see a difference in school?

• Help us understand that others have rights too
  and that we should help them because they may be
  in need and are just as important as us
  (UNICEF).
• Bearsden Academy will link with a foreign school
  to promote the rights of all.
