Petition Introduce children's rights into the primary and secondary curriculum
Thousands of child's rights breaches have been found in the UK. Without the knowledge children do not know when their rights are being breached. The government have a duty to protect children's rights under the UNCRC, but time and time again children are failed without the knowledge to confront it.
More details
Under the UNCRC children have a list of rights, however many breaches have been found. Children in care face insufficient standards of living, children from low income families are restricted in many aspects of life and so many other examples.Under article 48 children have the right to "know their rights" yet they are inadequately educated. Introducing children's rights into the curriculum will both help strengthen one right, while also protecting the most vulnerable in society through knowledge
