20-year milestone for children's rights international law
16 Dec 2011
To mark the 20th anniversary of the UK’s ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) the Children’s Rights Director for England has today announced that a special guide to the UNCRC for children in care will be published shortly on the Rights4me website.
The guide will explain how 20 years ago today the UK Government ratified the Convention, with all-party support, thereby making a solemn commitment to its implementation. It will say what, according to the Convention, looked after children in England should be entitled to when it comes to the important things like a change of placement, contact with their family, getting a good education and listening to their views on decisions that are likely to affect them. This will complement a major report published last month setting out children’s own views and giving them clear information about their rights.
