20 Years of Children's Rights but how equal are children and
young people?
Matrix Chambers equality workshop
Thursday 15 December 2011, 3-6pm
The 16th December 2011 is the 20th anniversary of the United
Kingdom agreeing to follow the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child.
The Children's Rights Alliance for England (CRAE) is starting
its celebrations with an equality workshop for young children's
activists (under 18 year-olds) at Matrix Chambers* in London.
CRAE are delighted that Karon Monaghan QC and Ulele Burnham –
two of the country's leading discrimination barristers – will speak
at the workshop.
Participants are asked to bring one object or photograph that
they feel symbolises how children and young people are treated in
the UK today.
Attendance is free but you must book in advance, as places are
limited. We have a small travel bursary, provided by UNICEF UK, for
children and young people who would otherwise be unable to
attend.
Email info@crae.org.uk for more
details and to apply for support.
Matrix Chambers is wheelchair accessible. Snacks and
refreshments will be provided (please tell us about any dietary
requirements you have). Contact us now at: info@crae.org.uk (with
subject ‘equality workshop’)
