Child Rights Education Toolkit: Rooting Child Rights in Early Childhood Education, Primary and Secondary Schools Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) This toolkit, developed by UNICEF, defines what is meant by child rights education and the child rights approach. It explains the relevance of child rights education to UNICEF’s mission and the ways in which education can take place in a range of contexts--including with professionals, caregivers, the corporate sector, the media, and children’s groups. The audience of this toolkit is therefore intended to be UNICEF National Committees, UNICEF country offices, UN agencies working on child rights education (CRE), governments, and other civil society organisations, NGOs, and academic institutions.Although this Toolkit focuses on child rights education in the formal learning environment (early childhood education settings, primary and secondary schools), it is hoped that it will also be useful for those working to promote child rights education through other channels, such as in the media, with children’s organizations and through children’s involvement in advocacy.For more information check the UNICEF webpage.

All Together Now!: A Whole School Approach to Anti-bullying Practice Year of publication: 2010 Corporate author: Save the Children All Together Now! provides learning and examples of good practice for teachers and school management teams, in order to encourage a culture in which bullying is less likely to occur. In particular, this report recognises the benefits of two strategies to instil an anti-bullying culture within any school. First, it describes a whole school approach to tackling bullying and promoting positive behaviour, with children and young people participating in their school’s decision-making processes. Positive changes in school anti-bullying policy, together with the ongoing development of better professional practice and peer support, are more likely if everyone connected to the school is informed and offered the opportunity to play a part. Second, All Together Now! demonstrates how creating an effective anti-bullying ethos is dependent upon creating a ‘telling environment’. To achieve this, pupils, staff, and parents and carers need to be consulted and involved.
