It is an exciting time in the life of Mauchline Primary & ECC. We have embarked on a journey which will benefit the whole school community, from pupils and staff to parents and governors. Here\u2019s what we think you might like to know about it!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
You might ask\u2026<\/strong><\/td>\nAs school leaders we think that\u2026<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What is a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School?<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n

When schools get involved, the children learn about their rights by putting them into practice every day.<\/p>\n

Children and adults will learn about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which outlines what children need to survive and thrive, becoming the best they can be and achieving their potential.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Why is this happening?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n

A Unicef UK Rights Respecting School models rights and respect in all its relationships, whether between adults and pupils, between pupils or between adults. It is proven to benefit everyone in the school community to grow and learn together. Read more about the Award at www.unicef.org.uk\/rrsa<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
How will becoming a Rights Respecting School benefit my child(ren)?<\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n

This approach works in many schools across the country to improve well-being and develop every child\u2019s talents and abilities to their full potential. Headteachers from schools involved in the Award say it has improved children\u2019s and young people\u2019s respect for themselves and others and contributed to children and young people being more engaged in their learning.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
How can I get involved?<\/td>\nWe hope you will support the school\u2019s journey to become a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School. Please do read about the Convention and Unicef\u2019s work (see below) to see what it\u2019s all about!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
What is the Convention on the Rights of the Child?<\/td>\nIn 1989, governments worldwide promised all children the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention recognised that all children have the right to be treated with dignity and fairness, to be protected, to develop to their full potential and to participate. The rights in the Convention describe what a child needs to survive, grow, and live up to their potential in the world. They apply equally to every child, no matter who they are or where they come from.<\/p>\n

The Convention changed the way children are viewed and treated \u2013 in other words, as human beings with a distinct set of rights instead of as passive objects of care and charity. It is the most widely ratified human rights treaty \u2013 only the United States has not ratified it. The UK signed up to it in 1991.<\/p>\n

You can read more about it at www.unicef.org.uk\/crc<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 and download a summary of the articles at bit.ly\/CRC-over11<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

What is Unicef?<\/td>\nUnicef is the world’s leading organisation for children and young people, promoting the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything they do. Together with their partners, Unicef works in 190 countries to translate that commitment into practical action.<\/p>\n

Unicef UK is a registered charity. It raises funds through donations from individuals, organisations and companies and campaigns to keep children safe. Unicef UK also works with schools, hospitals and local authorities in the UK to put children at the heart of what they do.<\/p>\n
