State of children’s rights in England report 2009
This special anniversary edition of our annual report is being published as the UN celebrates 20 years since the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was adopted. Last October, the UN issued 124 recommendations to the Government to ensure that the UK fulfils its commitment to children’s rights under the UNCRC. Our State of children’s rights in England report 2009 examines what progress has been made on these recommendations in the past year, as well as highlighting emerging threats to children’s rights. It costs £9.50 including postage.
It is also available as a CRAE-branded flashdrive pre-loaded with a searchable pdf of the report plus a pdf of a second version of the report which is accessible to children and young people. This costs £7.05 including VAT and postage.
