Overview

This webinar engages with the ongoing challenge of transitioning law and policy on children's rights into practice. The webinar presents research findings from a project on young children’s participative rights in schools in Wales. Key themes in this work are of universal interest, notably the gap between policy intention and implementation and specifically, in education, the challenge of integrating rights-based approaches in a field already populated by various and sometimes competing assumptions, debates and practices. 

Objectives

1. To share learning from research into how young children's participative rights are reflected in education law and policy
2. To share insights from research with educators on what may give better effect to children's participative rights
3. To reflect on the gap between policy rhetoric on children's participation and effective implementation of children's participative rights in schools
4. To invite further knowledge exchange and engagement on these issues amongst CREAN members and networks.

Target Audience

Educators and educators of educators; researchers; children's rights organisations
