Human Rights – dilemmas when rights seem to conflict

Particularly useful for secondary schools working towards the Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA), this resource encourages young people to think about the nature of human rights and some of the dilemmas that may arise. The approach provides structures for teaching skills about thinking and forming opinions, as well as speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Rights Respecting School Award

The Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of a school’s planning, policies, practice and ethos. A rights-respecting school not only teaches about children’s rights but also models rights and respect in all its relationships: between teachers / adults and pupils, between adults and between pupils.
