Children can be subjected to neglect, abuse, violence and exploitation anywhere. There is some abuse that may happen inside the school premises, while a lot of it is what children suffer at home and in non-school environments. A child in your class may be a victim of violence/abuse/exploitation that happens outside the school. You cannot ignore it. Rather you must help the child. This too is possible only if you are able to identify that there is a problem and you spend time to understand it and explore possible solutions. Share with us practices, ideas, questions and thoughts. As the teacher in the classroom, you are pivotal to stewardship of these rights.

I think it's the responsibility of the school to ensure that us teachers understand the rights. Since starting teacher over five years ago, this topic has never come up in school. I also spoke to some friends at other schools, and no-one was aware that there is a dedicated document for the rights of children. It would be so good if schools linked the rights to codes of conduct for both students and teachers.
