Welcome

Office of the Guardian for Children and Young People

The ‘Listening and talking with children’ forum

In June 2009, the Guardian’s Office and the Charter of Rights Implementation Committee hosted a forum to promote essential skills in communication with children and young people.

A presentation by Sara Bann and Ed King on behalf of the Guardian’s Youth Advisors opened the morning’s discussion.

Some of the output from the forum was published in July as Workshop-output-collated as well as a list of readings and other resources.

I have the right to be safe and well cared for.

As a child and young person in care, you have special rights. These are rules that should be followed so you can grow up happy, healthy and achieving your dreams.

If you feel that your rights are not being met, and you are not being listened to, we can help.
