The RRR Development Initiative began with four pilot schools focused on human rights ownership, utilizing local authorities as facilitators. This program aims to enhance outcomes for children and young people by linking robust rationales to current educational issues. With training for approximately 400 Hampshire schools, it incorporates a strong research component and partners with UNICEF UK to implement the Rights Respecting School Award. This initiative aligns with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), adopted in 1989 and ratified by most countries, ensuring accountability for children's rights.
