We are a silver rights respecting school

At Moseley School and Sixth Form we have a dedicated Unicef team of student volunteers, if you want to get more involved in any of our campaigns or activities then please talk to one of our rights respecting ambassadors.   

Unicef and the UN convention on the rights of a child

Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential.

What is the Rights Respecting School Award?

The Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. The RRSA seeks to put the UN convention on the Rights of a Child at the heart of a school’s ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child’s talent and abilities to their full potential. A Rights Respecting School is a community where children’s rights are learned, understood and lived in the school.
