Schools can be the powerhouses for developing respect for, and enjoyment of, human rights. They have a responsibility to create an environment which respects the inherent dignity of each child, including when dealing with behaviour issues, but which also protects the rights of all children to an education.
National Children’s Commissioner Megan Mitchell examines the right to school education and the means by which behaviour management policies contribute to protecting or denying this and other child rights, including their impact on a child’s opportunity to thrive.
