The skilled and often-harrowing work of young student reporters and photo-journalists has been recognised in this year’s Young Human Rights Reporter of the Year Awards.
The competition, which is run by Amnesty International UK and supported by SecEd and the Guardian Teacher Network, saw entries from 2,500 students from across 200 schools.
There were six categories across key stages 2 to 5 including four for written entries and two for photographs. Students were asked to write an article or report of up to 500 words on a human rights-related issue, or to submit a photograph illustrating a human rights theme.
It is the first year the competition has had a photography element and photographic entries tackled issues such as bullying, prejudice, racism and homelessness.
