At today’s assembly we looked at the impact of child labour and discussed why the 12th June is an important day – the World Day Against Child Labour. We learned that they are 160 million children worldwide who are engaged in work which is harmful for their development and often means they can’t access their rights to be safe, healthy and have an education.

Article 32 (child labour): Governments must protect children from economic exploitation and work that is dangerous or might harm their health, development or education. Governments must set a minimum age for children to work and ensure that work conditions are safe and appropriate.
