Human Rights – Teach children how to stand up for their rights – KS2 PSHE lesson plan

Key Stage

KS2

Age

Years 7-9

As a child, what are those rights and what can you do to uphold them? Phoebe Lill explores advocacy…

As human beings, we all have fundamental rights and freedoms. Children need to understand this, know they have their own rights and learn to stand up for what is important to them.

This lesson introduces children to human rights and advocacy.

They learn that they have their own rights, relate these to everyday life in the classroom and think about what stands in the way of their rights being met.

Having identified things they want to change, they plan how to speak up and take action.

What they’ll learn

  • Understand that children have their own rights
  • Relate these rights to their own life
  • Discuss and share opinions on issues that affect them
  • Understand what advocacy is
  • Start to plan how to bring about change
