Pupils learn about the rights all children should have because they are developing a sense of justice and equity. Understanding children's rights is crucial for their awareness of global issues. This knowledge helps them recognize the importance of rights, advocate for themselves and others, and foster a fair and compassionate outlook as they develop as informed and responsible citizens.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know how to recognise what they like and dislike, what is fair and unfair, and what is right and wrong.
- Pupils know that there are different kinds of responsibilities, rights and duties at home, at school and in the community, and that these can sometimes conflict with each other.
