Your Rights at Ysgol y Graig

Every child has rights.
The UNCRC stands for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is a set of rights that belongs to every child and young person.

These rights help make sure children are safe, healthy, cared for, included, listened to and able to learn and play.
At Ysgol y Graig, we want you to know your rights and understand that your views matter.

Some of your rights include:

• the right to be safe
• the right to learn
• the right to be healthy
• the right to play and relax
• the right to be treated fairly
• the right to share your views and be listened to
• the right to get help and support when you need it.

Your Voice Matters
One of your important rights is the right to have your views heard.
That means we want you to ask questions, share your ideas, tell us what you think and speak to us when something is worrying you.
Through pupil leadership, class discussions, questionnaires, Listening to Learners and everyday conversations, we make sure there are lots of ways for you to have your say.

Rights and Responsibilities
Having rights also means respecting the rights of other people.
We can all help by being kind, respectful and inclusive, listening to others and helping everyone feel that they belong.

Safe • Heard • Valued • Included
At Ysgol y Graig, we believe every child has rights and every child matters.
