United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC): Embedding Children’s Rights in Public Services Guidance Sub-Group

Overview

The sub-group has developed out of the Embedding in Public Services Group which was convened to assist the Embedding Children’s Rights in Public Services team, to best support wider cultural change and understanding of children’s rights within the delivery of public services.

The primary purpose of the guidance sub-group will be to support the Embedding Children’s Rights in Public Services team within the Children’s Rights Unit with development of part two and part three statutory guidance in the context of imminent remedial work on the UNCRC Bill.

The sub-group will provide advice and support for the Embedding in Public Services Group in relation to statutory guidance as it progresses with its work to assist on the Embedding Children’s Rights in Public Services strand of the UNCRC Implementation Programme.
