About this event

About this event: On Tuesday 6 February 2024, the Mayor of London announced Violence Reduction Unit funding for UNICEF UK to offer the Rights Respecting Schools Award to all state funded education settings in all London boroughs.

Funding from London’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) will allow schools to register for the Award and access all training, support, and accreditations for free until March 2028. This will remove financial barriers and give any state school or education setting interested in becoming Rights Respecting the opportunity to do so, creating a lasting impact for children in London.

This briefing session is for senior leaders of state funded schools in London to find out more about the Rights Respecting Schools Award and what this funding will cover. It is suitable for those who are new to RRSA and also for those who are already involved. There will be an opportunity to ask questions.

Organised by

Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools Award

Welcome to the training booking system for Unicef UK's Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA).

RRSA puts children’s rights at the heart of schools in the UK. Using the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) as our guide, we are working with more UK schools than almost any other organisation. Over 1.5 million children in the UK go to a Rights Respecting School and up to 5,000 schools up and down the country are working through the Award. Schools work with us on a journey to become fully Rights Respecting.

The Award recognises a school’s achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into practice within the school and beyond.
