Mae Gwobr Ysgolion sy'n Parchu Hawliau UNICEF y DU (RRSA) yn seiliedig ar egwyddorion cydraddoldeb, urddas, parch, peidio â gwahaniaethu a chyfranogiad. Mae’r RRSA yn ceisio gosod Confensiwn y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Hawliau’r Plentyn wrth galon ethos a diwylliant ysgol i wella llesiant a datblygu doniau a galluoedd pob plentyn i’w llawn botensial. Mae ysgol sy’n parchu hawliau yn gymuned lle mae hawliau plant yn cael eu dysgu, eu haddysgu, eu hymarfer, eu parchu, eu hamddiffyn a’u hyrwyddo. Mae pobl ifanc a chymuned yr ysgol yn dysgu am hawliau plant trwy eu rhoi ar waith bob dydd. Teimlwn ei bod yn bwysig pan fydd plant yn dysgu am eu hawliau ei bod yn bwysig bod cysylltiadau dyfnach hefyd yn cael eu gwneud yn eu dealltwriaeth o natur hawliau.

The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. The RRSA seeks to put the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of a school’s ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. A rights-respecting school is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted. Young people and the school community learn about children’s rights by putting them into practice every day. We feel it is important that when children learn about their rights it is important that deeper connections are also made in their understanding about the nature of rights.
