What is Bronze?

Bronze: Rights Committed is the first stage of the Rights Respecting Schools Award

It is primarily a planning stage where you will spend time reflecting on your current practice and plan how you will work towards RRSA Silver: Rights Committed. When you are ready, send us your Bronze application form to show your school’s commitment and how you intend to become rights respecting.

A school can achieve Bronze – Rights Committed within a few months of registering. Before starting to work towards Bronze, please make sure you have visited the Getting Started page and have registered your school with us.

Achieving Bronze: Rights Committed means there is evidence that:

• You have shared the school’s commitment to become Rights Respecting with members of your community.
• Your school’s senior leadership team (SLT) understands what is involved in the Award and is committed to embarking on the UNICEF UK Rights Respecting journey.
• The right foundations are in place for your school’s journey to the second stage of the Award, Silver: Rights Aware.

We have two training courses to help schools achieve Bronze: Rights Committed. Both of these are included in the RRSA membership fee.

• Achieving Bronze – a virtual 3hr training course, facilitated by a Professional Adviser. Learn about RRSA, children’s rights, and how to achieve Bronze.
• E-learning courses accessible to you and colleagues offering guidance and tools to support your rights work.
