Our Work

We promote children’s right to participate in decision-making.  Article 12 of the UNCRC says that children should be able to express their views on decisions that affect them and that their views should be given due weight, in accordance with their age and maturity.

In signing up to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1991, the UK government promised to uphold children's rights, including their right to have a say in decisions that affect them, and the right to seek and receive information in ways that are accessible to children.
