UNICEF UK's Rights Respecting School Award and Blippit Boards (2026 app ver. 3+)

Blippit Boards can help your school collect and organise evidence for the UNICEF UK Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) while continuing to capture everyday curriculum moments as normal.

Blippit reduces the time and effort involved in:

• gathering evidence
• monitoring progress
• understanding coverage across strands
• producing reports directly in the app

There are three RRSA strands (A–C) and schools may be accredited at Silver or Gold level. Blippit supports both levels.

‍

RRSA tagging in Blippit Boards

Blippit includes a dedicated UNICEF RRSA Award tagging category.

These tags have been created in partnership with the RRSA Team to align with the framework outcomes. This means your tags match the official structure.

Teachers can:

• tag boards with RRSA tags only, or
• combine RRSA tags with other curriculum tags

This allows the same evidence to support both curriculum review and RRSA accreditation without duplication.

‍

Silver and Gold tagging

Within the RRSA tags you’ll see clear prefixes such as:

• silver:
• gold:

Choose the tag that matches the level your school is working toward.

You can download the PDF linked to this article (if you include it) to see how each tag maps directly to framework outcomes and share this with staff.

‍

How RRSA tag prefixes work

Each RRSA tag includes a short code so you always know exactly which strand and outcome it relates to.

Example:

silver (b6): inclusion
silver level • Strand B • Outcome 6

This prefixing system makes it easier to:

• select the correct tag
• read charts in the app
• generate and understand reports

There are three strands in the RRSA framework:

• Strand A: Teaching and learning about rights
• Strand B: Teaching and learning through rights — ethos and relationships
• Strand C: Teaching and learning for rights — participation, empowerment and action

All three strands are represented in the Blippit RRSA tags.

‍

Using Blippit day to day for RRSA

A simple working approach is:

1. staff capture curriculum moments as usual
2. where relevant, they also apply the RRSA tag(s)
3. leaders filter by RRSA tags in the app
4. evidence builds automatically across the school

This allows RRSA evidence to come from real lived school practice, not staged activities or extra workload.

‍

Reporting for RRSA accreditation

Inside the Blippit Boards app you can:

• filter boards using RRSA tags
• check coverage across strands A, B and C
• generate reports instantly in PDF or Word

Video evidence appears via QR codes in reports so it can be viewed easily.
