Rights Resource Guide for Teachers

Human rights belong to everyone no matter where you live. Knowing what these rights are and how they relate to our own lives and the lives of others is a first step towards creating a world where everyone’s human rights are routinely respected.

The resources in this guide, updated in 2025, aim to support teachers’ professional understanding of human rights issues in Scotland and around the world.

It includes tools for improving pupil participation and a range of classroom activities and ideas which support pupils to learn about, through and for rights.
