Hilary Alcock, RRSA Professional Adviser, introduces Spotlight on Rights Respecting Language

Описание: The language we use is important. When you become a Rights Respecting School there is new vocabulary to learn.

In Rights Respecting Schools, children talk about articles, they talk about rights being universal, inherent and unconditional, you will hear people refer to rights holders and duty bearers and talk about the importance of the principles of fairness, equity and dignity.

It is important that we, as staff in school, take time to look at this vocabulary, so that we can model its use with confidence.

The Rights Respecting Schools Award puts children’s rights at the heart of school life in the UK.

The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
