What is the UNRC?
The UNCRC is short for the ‘United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child’. In 1989, Governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights and this document sets out what they are. The convention's 54 articles aim to ensure that all children grow up safe and healthy and that their views are taken into consideration in decisions that affect them. The UNCRC was incorporated into Scots Law in 2024.
As a ‘Rights Respecting School’ we aim to teach, practise, respect, protect and promote child rights by putting them into practice every day. The language of rights is used throughout the day as the whole school community works together to put child rights at the heart of all we do
