Young children’s activity book – Convention on the Rights of the Child ** BESTSELLER **
This colourful young children’s activity book takes children – and their parents/carers – through the rights in the Convention on the Rights of the Child using different themes such as 'be the best you can be', 'be happy' and 'be safe'. It includes easy-to-use stickers and is packed with other hands-on activities. Invaluable resource for primary citizenship classes, early years workers and parenting practitioners.
“One of the concerns of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child is how children can be informed about and involved in implementing their rights. The activity book is an excellent example on how this can be done in such a way that children understand their rights and that involves them in this process in an interactive and appealing manner. The book is colourful, very informative and a delight for children to work with. Congratulations to the Children's Rights Alliance for England.”
Jaap E Doek, former Chairperson of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child

What others say about Ready Steady Change:
“Ready Steady Change is the best resource I have seen to support working with children on terms of equality and mutual respect.”
“It was fantastic seeing strategic decision-makers making the connection between active participation, real tangible change and impact...”
“... every exercise is grounded in a child’s experience and I haven’t seen that so strongly before ... there’s always something in the child’s words, a scenario including a child or something a child has written.”
“As a kit it’s all there, you don’t have to go round looking for resources from elsewhere, the materials are very good and there’s lots to choose from.”
“The training programme puts children and young people’s wishes, feelings and ideas at the centre of public services. The entire RSC programme approaches children and young people’s participation in decision-making from a human rights framework.”
“Excellent materials, a wide variety of exciting exercises and, most importantly, putting children and young people at the heart of public decision-making. Ready Steady Change has it all.”
