What rights should all children have?

This six-lesson Year 7 scheme of work introduces learners to children’s rights and considers why protecting these rights is important in a fair society.

Learners explore the rights to which children are entitled, including education, health and access to accurate and reliable information, and examine how citizens can protect the rights of others. They also consider how effectively children’s rights are supported and protected in the UK.

The scheme develops learners’ understanding of justice, equality and responsibility, including the role of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
