The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) is founded on the principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination, and participation. It aims to embed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into the core ethos and culture of schools, enhancing well-being and nurturing every child's talents and abilities to their fullest potential.

We believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity, recognizing each individual's inherent value and unique identity.

A rights-respecting school is a community where children's rights are actively learned, taught, practiced, respected, protected, and promoted. Both young people and the school community engage with children's rights by integrating them into daily practices.

We consider it essential that children not only learn about their rights but also develop a deeper understanding of the nature of these rights, encompassing the ABCDE of their rights.
