Today, Mrs Franklin took our Equality and Rights Advocates to the summer EARA group meeting. Hampshire Equality and Rights Advocates (EARA) are a group of students from Hampshire schools who work collaboratively to promote equality and children's rights in their schools based on the nine protected characteristics of the Equality Act and UNCRC. 

In today's session, the children were focusing on the rights of the child and becoming more familiar with the articles of the UNCRC (United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child). They looked at a picture showing different images and discussed whether the graphic displayed rights being met or denied. 

After that, the various schools who had attended the meeting were given the opportunity to share something from their own school with the wider group. The GBP Equality and Rights Advocates shared a presentation which they had presented to the rest of Great Binfields in a whole school assembly. Mrs Franklin was incredibly impressed, as it is not easy to speak in such of a large audience. GBP EARA also answered many questions throughout the meeting and showed great participation.
