The best people to take action on children’s rights are children and young people – no one knows about or understands your lives better. That’s why we’re supporting children’s rights champions across England.
Pledge Month
November 2008 is Get ready for change! Pledge Month. During Pledge Month, young children’s rights campaigners will be working hard to encourage their local decision-makers to make a children’s rights pledge. That’s a public promise to improve the lives and rights of children and young people in the local area. They will be running local events and workshops on children’s rights, and meeting with local decision-makers to encourage them to take action to support children’s rights.
