Dignity in School

📢 The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 came into effect on July 16, 2024. The Act requires public authorities in Scotland to uphold the rights of all children and to consider these rights when making decisions that affect them. The Act protects everyone up to the age of 18. 📢

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.  

The Dignity Hub is an ever-evolving platform to demonstrate and provide useful resources and examples. These will help you develop your school’s pedagogy and children’s rights approach. 

Let’s make children’s human rights real in Scotland!
