Introduction UNCRC is set to be incorporated into Scots law
This has implications for educational settings

This resource is designed to support this understanding by providing:
- evaluative statements
- examples of what this looks like in practice
- prompts to RAG each statement<br>

Format/guidance on the use of this resource The following slides are adapted from the self evaluation document on Education Scotland’s National Improvement hub page: Recognising and realising children’s rights (see notes for link)
The format is as follows:
5 sections, each with around 5 evaluative statements
Evaluative statement and some ideas to consider
Discussion prompts to RAG the evaluative statement
What could RAG look like? (please note these are suggestions and are by no means exhaustive)
At the end of each section – signposts to resources/training and examples of practice
This can be used at in-service or staff meetings, to be discussed in small groups.
You may wish to start with a different section that is most relevant to your setting
A Microsoft Form has been created to enter and collate responses to the evaluative statements (see notes section)
This is designed as a tool to be used in an ongoing way rather than as a whole powerpoint in one go.<br>

Section 2: Culture, values and ethos a) Protecting, respecting and promoting children’s rights is a priority for the establishment’s leaders Some ideas to consider
Include as a priority on establishment improvement plan;
Invite a steering group to lead this priority;
Audit current knowledge of UNCRC;
Raise awareness with stakeholders (assemblies; INSET – make links with children protection; parent evenings etc);
Establishment leaders contribute to full-staff presentation to invite further exploration of rights Discussion prompts:
How well do our leaders prioritise protecting, respecting and promoting children’s rights?
How do we know? What evidence do we have? What else do we need to do? Back to Section 2 contents<br>
