In our September Home Circles we highlighted Article 12 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously. This right applies at all times: during immigration proceedings, housing decisions or the child’s day to day home life.
Our questions were –
When is your opinion listened to in Catrine PS? When is your voice heard?
Why is it important that your opinion is listened to? Why should your voice be heard?
Have a read through our answers from our Home Circles jotters …
In our Home Circles today we focused on Article 3 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that the best interests of the child must be a top priority in all decision and actions that affect children.
Today’s questions were:
Who is involved in making decisions which affect you in school and at home?
Why are these people involved in making decisions which affect you?
