Children’s rights - tell the Government what YOU think!
For the first time ever, the Government is running an online children's rights survey
to find out the views and experiences of children and young people (under 18 year-olds) in England.
The
survey results will be included in the Government's next children’s rights report to the United Nations.
There
are questions about children’s and young people’s health, education, experience of violence and discrimination,
and the right to be heard and taken seriously. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10 minutes
to complete online (longer for young children).
We want children and young people all over the country to take part – have your say now! Visit http://www.direct.gov.uk/youngpeoplerights
