  2. Rights, Respect, ReesponsibilityHamphire County Council (UK) • The universality and internationalism of rights provide a context for rights promotion and exploring rights violations both near and far. • The Convention acts as a framework for a lot of schools’ citizenship work (Healthy Schools, relationships education, drugs education, emotional literacy, school councils). • A rights perspective is integrated across the range of subjects, topics and studies (without necessarily disrupting existing planning).
