UNICEF UK Rights Respecting School

Date: 3rd Mar 2024 @ 4:44pm

We are becoming a UNICEF UK Rights Respecting School!

Mount Carmel wants to be a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve well-being and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. As part of this plan we are working towards recognition as a Rights Respecting School, an award given to schools on behalf of UNICEF UK. We have launched this in school this week through assemblies in both departments.

UNICEF UK works with schools to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. The Rights Respecting Schools Award supports schools to put in place a set of standards based on equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. These values stem from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).

At Mount Carmel children will learn about their rights by putting them into practice every day. You can find out more about the Award here: unicef.uk/About RRSA.

We really hope that you will support our school on our Rights Respecting journey.
