An Approach to Assessing "Accountability" in Implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child: Implications for School Psychology
Garbarino, James; Briggs, Alissa
School Psychology International, v35 n1 p29-35 Feb 2014
Together, the UN Convention on Rights of the Child and the USA's National Association of School Psychologists' (NASP) Principles for Professional Ethics (2010a) serve as aspirational documents that place a child's right to healthy development as the ultimate priority, regardless of the child's circumstances. This article outlines how school psychologists can assess and support progress towards the aspiration that children have equitable access to services that promote healthy development regardless of parental limitations.
