Young People's Rights and the CRC

Welcome!

This is a hub for young people where you will find loads of info about your rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We’ll call it CRC for short. Organisations working with young people might also find this stuff useful. There are Factsheets and a short video.

Every five years, the UK Government has to report to a special Committee at the United Nations about how well it is doing to protect these rights. Because it is about your rights it is important that you know how this process happens and how you can be involved to make sure the important issues for young people are being heard.
