OutRight Certificate!

Leave a comment

We took part in the UNICEF OutRight campaign 2016 at the end of last year.

We also sent Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary for the UK, a letter explaining about our learning on the refugee crisis and how it effects their rights.

We received a letter from the UNICEF UK Senior Campaign Adviser.

The letter said well done on our learning and thank you for taking part in the UNICEF OutRight Campaign 2016.  They said that hundreds of people send letters, pictures and videos everyday of them learning about The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. They also sent a certificate for us that can be seen on our achievements wall.

Letter to the Home Secretary

Leave a comment

As part of our journey towards our level 2 Rights Respecting Award, we have been working on UNICEF’s Outright 2016 pack. We have been learning more about the refugee crisis in Syria.

We recognise that many children’s rights are not being met and think that something needs to be done about this… and QUICK!!

To ensure our voices are heard, we have written a letter and sent it to our local MP Alistair Carmichael. He will pass this on to Amber Rudd our Home Secretary.

We have attached the letter if you would like to read it.
