I had a look at the UN Convention Of Rights Of The Child and found the following that may be related:
Article 3 All adults should do what is best for you. When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children.
Article 29 Your education should help you use and develop your talents and abilities. It should also help you learn to live peacefully, protect the environment and respect other people
UN Articles - Rights Of The Child
As for Code Of Ethics:
Acknowledge children as competent learners, and build active communities of engagement and inquiry.
Honour children’s right to play, as both a process and context for learning.
Listen to and learn from families, in order to acknowledge and build upon their strengths and competencies, and support them in their role of nurturing children.
Develop shared planning, monitoring and assessment practices for children’s learning and communicate this in ways that families understand.
ECA - Code Of Ethics
Hope this helps,

For UN Convention add also:
Article 12
You have the right to give your opinion, and
for adults to listen and take it seriously.
Article 13
You have the right to find out things and
share what you think with others, by talking, drawing, writing or in any other way unless it harms or offends other people.
Article 16
You have the right to privacy.
Those are the most important my teacher wanted to see.
