Hooray! Our school is like a superhero for children’s rights because we’ve earned the Silver Rights Respecting Schools Award. It means we’re really good at making sure every child’s rights are super important. We learned about things like fairness, kindness, and making sure everyone is safe and happy. Our staff and partners are like a big team, and we all work together to make our school the best place ever. We promise to keep caring about each other’s rights because that’s what makes us special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Convention on the Rights of the Child?

\"\"<\/td>		In 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.
 
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.

What is Unicef?<\/td>Unicef 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.
 
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.
