Human rights in schools

Jun 25, 2014, updated May 13, 2025

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, as well as protecting the rights of all children to an education.

National Children’s Commissioner Megan Mitchell will be in Adelaide next month to examine how our schools measure up against the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. She will explore how schools’ behaviour management policies protect or deny the rights of Australian children, including their opportunities to thrive and reach their full potential.
