Every child needs to be responsible

Being responsible means things like:

  • knowing about right and wrong
  • saying sorry when they do something wrong
  • showing respect for other people
  • doing tasks that are just right for their age
  • being trusted to do the right thing
  • being asked what you think about something
  • getting support to hold important positions at school and in the community
