Rights Respecting Ambassadors

Promoting Respect, Fairness, and Inclusion for All
Who Are Our Rights Respecting Ambassadors?
 
Our Rights Respecting Ambassadors are pupils chosen for their positive attitude, reliability, and commitment to promoting children’s rights. They act as leaders within the school, showing kindness, responsibility, and cooperation. Ambassadors help others understand that everyone has rights, and they encourage pupils to treat each other with fairness and respect.
What Do They Do?
 
Rights Respecting Ambassadors play a key role in promoting and protecting children’s rights across the school.
They:
  • Support and guide other pupils in understanding rights and responsibilities
  • Encourage teamwork, fairness, and respect in everyday activities
  • Model positive behaviour and responsibility
  • Share ideas to make school life more inclusive and respectful
  • Help ensure every pupil feels heard, valued, and safe
Through these actions, ambassadors help everyone understand the importance of children’s rights in creating a positive school community.

Why It Matters?
 
Being a Rights Respecting Ambassador helps pupils:
 
  • Promote understanding of children’s rights across the school
  • Encourage respect, fairness, and inclusion for everyone
  • Gives pupils a real voice in school life
  • Supports a safe, positive, and welcoming school community
  • Empowers pupils to make thoughtful, responsible choices

Responsibilities include:

  • Acting as positive role models who demonstrate respect, fairness, and inclusion.
  • Raising awareness of children’s rights among pupils, staff, and the wider school community.
  • Supporting assemblies, events, and campaigns linked to children’s rights and global citizenship.
  • Gathering and sharing the views of their classmates to ensure all pupils have a voice in decision-making.
  • Helping to create a safe, welcoming, and respectful school environment where everyone feels valued.
  • Leading or supporting projects that encourage sustainability, equality, and social justice.

Through their work, the Ambassadors help the school progress towards and maintain UNICEF’s Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA), fostering a culture where rights are learned, understood, and lived by all.

Our Rights Respecting Ambassadors are leading, support others, and making a positive difference in our school community.
