In our Home Circles we were focusing on Article 7 of the UNCRC which states that ‘every child, immediately after birth, has the right to a legal name, a nationality and the right to know and be cared for by their parents, carers and their governments’.

Our BIG questions were …

Why is it important that everyone has an official and legal name?

Which important documents do you need your official name for?

What do we mean by ‘nationality’? When is it important to know your nationality?
