Children’s Rights

During our final week 1 of this school year, we reminded the children about Children’s Rights – and tried to remember what we’ve learnt about them this year.

Here are some of the rights that they remembered:

• The right to be safe
• The right to be educated
• The right to a childhood
• The right to be treated fairly
• The right to be healthy
• The right to be heard 

The children told us why their rights are important:

• It helps us recognise danger – when something is unsafe or feels wrong or uncomfortable

• It helps us know that we can speak up – to say “No” to unsafe situations and tell a safe adult

• Rights make us confident to help the voice inside our head say “NO, I deserve safety”

Here are some activities that you can do with your child / children on staying safe
