UNCRC Professional Learning
Three professional learning inputs around the convention on the rights of the child are now available.
Recognising and realising children’s rights: professional learning opportunities
In conjunction with Education Scotland, we are delighted to offer three professional learning sessions for practitioners and leads in all sectors to develop their understanding of the UNCRC and what this means in terms of policy and practice. These sessions will support all schools on their Rights Respecting Schools journey.
Aims of professional learning:
- To raise practitioner awareness and understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
- To link rights-based practice to the Scottish legislation and policy context.
- To enable the support of rights-based practice across our schools and other organisations.
- To ensure we fully take the UNCRC into account in all our actions.
