Article 4 (implementation of the Convention) – Governments must do all they can to make sure every child can enjoy their rights by creating systems and passing laws that promote and protect children’s rights.

Article 41 (respect for higher national standards) – If a country has laws and standards that go further than the present Convention, then the country must keep these laws

Todays assembly is to share information and learn more about what can be done to support people with disabilities. We learned that there is a charter to help protect and look after people with disabilities and that not all disabilities can be seen.

Article 2 – No discrimination : The Convention applies to every child without discrimination, whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status, whatever they think or say, whatever their family background.

Article 23 – Children with disabilities: A child with a disability has the right to live a full and decent life with dignity and, as far as possible, independence and play an active part in the community.  Governments must do all they can to support disabled children and their families.
