We are proud to announce that we at St. Clement’s have successfully achieved the Unicef UK Bronze - Right Committed Award for our rights-respecting work and we now working towards our Silver Award.

 

What is the Rights Respecting Schools Award?

The Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) supports schools across the UK to embed children’s human rights in their ethos and culture.

 

The award recognises achievement in putting theUN Convention on the Right of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of a school’s practice to improve well-being and help all children realise their potential.

 

The award is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation.

 

The initiative started in 2006 and schools involved in the Award have reported a positive impact on relationships and well-being, leading to better learning and behaviour, improved academic standards and less bullying.

 

Each week we will be uploading an article from The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)so keep your eyes open for our next post coming soon.
