How can you help?

We welcome support from parents/ carers and the community to help us develop RRSA at The Jenny Hammond Primary School.

Questions for discussion at home:

• What are the rights of a child in the UNCRC?
• How many articles do you know?
• Do children in different countries have the same rights as you?
• Should all schools be rights respecting schools?
• How do you respect your rights and the rights of others at school and at home?
• What could we do to help children whose rights are not respected?
•  Should all children know about their rights? Why?
