UNCRC is 20 years old
November 20th 2009 was the 20th anniversary of the UN adopting the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
To celebrate we brought together a variety of electronic resources for schools and other settings - see below.
We are now beginning to plan a host of celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the UK agreeing to follow the Convention, culminating in a special event in December 2011. Watch this space and our member e-bulletin for news.
