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.
Knockbreda Nursery School’s pupils learn about their rights by putting them into practice every day. A Rights Respecting School models rights and respect in all its relationships.
