This report presents the findings from the evaluation research conducted over a three-year period (2007-9) on the Hampshire County Rights Respect and Responsibility school reform (RRR) in the United Kingdom. RRR is a whole school approach based upon the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Its universal principles emphasize the need to protect the rights of all children, help them to understand their responsibilities, and offer a framework for teaching and learning. These are used to promote the practice of democratic citizenship and respect for human rights among all members of the school community. This report is based on a sample size of 13 schools. The report shows that pupils in schools in which the RRR was fully implemented demonstrated a greater understanding of rights and responsibilities than did their peers in the schools in which the RRR was less fully implemented.
