- Summary:
-
Children & young people have a fundamental right to be heard and taken seriously about matters affecting them. They have the same general human rights as adults, but also possess specific rights that recognise their special needs and potential. This book explains how these rights are set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It also examines the state of children's rights in Australia, where there have been some positive developments, but also a number of critical issues and mixed results.
