Rights Respecting School Awards

A NEAD Project

The Rights Respecting School Awards is a pilot project set up by UNICEF UK to see how the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child can enhance teaching, learning, ethos, attitudes and behaviour in schools. It seeks whole-school change in areas of the curriculum, policy and via the promotion of active citizenship amongst all in the school community (not only students and teachers).

NEAD is currently working with Kirkley High School, Lowestoft, to see how these ideas can be practically introduced.

There is more information on the Rights Respecting School Awards at the UNICEF website.
