Dignity In School

Dignity in School:
A hub for rights based practice

Welcome to the Hub!

Children’s Parliament is working with partners to build the capacity of schools to take a children’s human rights approach and put the UNCRC into practice. By adopting a rights approach, schools help to make rights real for children by ensuring that their dignity is upheld.
