This year KWCC is going for an award called the Rights Respecting School Award and soon we will be asking for YOUR help!
The Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) is an initiative run by UNICEF UK, which encourages schools to place the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of its ethos and curriculum. A Rights Respecting School not only teaches about children's rights, it also models rights and respect in all its relationships, whether between children or between children and adults.
The initiative started in 2004 and is running in over 600 schools in the UK (primary and secondary). It has demonstrated an improvement in child well-being. Many schools have reported a decrease in bullying, an improvement in achievement and participation, a positive effect on attitudes and global awareness and a more inclusive, caring school atmosphere.
