Every young person is heard.

Safe Start aims to be a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve well-being and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.

​

As part of this plan we are working towards recognition as a ‘Rights Respecting School’, an award given to schools on behalf of Unicef UK.

Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights.

​

In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential.

​

SafeStart pupils will learn about their rights by putting them into practice every day.

A Rights Respecting School models rights and respect in all its relationships.  We really hope that you will be able to support our school on our journey towards becoming a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School.
