RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL (RRS)

What does RRS mean?

Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow and participate and fulfil their potential.

There are 5 main areas covered:

1. All children have the right to an education.

2. All children have the right to be healthy.

3. All children have the right to a childhood.

4.All children have the right to be treated fairly.

5. All children have the right to be heard.
