Dignity in School

The Children’s Parliament is working with partners to build the capacity of schools to take a children’s human rights approach and put the UNCRC into action.

Dignity in School

By adopting a rights approach, schools help to make rights real for children by ensuring that their dignity is upheld. 

Dignity in School is an opportunity to create long-lasting impactful change in your school and local areas while taking the lead on the implementation of the UNCRC.

Children’s voices are at the heart of this work. Pupils and adults work collaboratively through a rights-based practice involving play and creativity to ensure that the UNCRC and Dignity are fully embedded in their school and community.

Dignity in School is designed to improve relationships as well as the teaching and learning experience.
