When children's rights are at risk, we help
We combine legal expertise, advocacy and the voices of children and young people to make children’s rights a reality.
Our work connects the experiences of individual children with the bigger changes needed across law, policy and services.
Our specialist legal team works across issues including education, health, social care, justice and equality.
We help children and families understand their rights and what they can do when those rights are not being respected.
We also use our legal expertise to challenge systemic problems and bring about wider change.
We use legal expertise, evidence and the experiences of children and young people to influence law, policy and practice.
We respond to consultations, scrutinise legislation, engage with decision-makers and advocate for changes to protect children’s rights.
We don’t just say what is wrong. We set out what needs to change.
Understanding children’s rights is essential for anyone working with or making decisions about children.
Our training helps professionals, organisations and others understand children’s rights and apply them in their everyday work.
Our training is practical, accessible and grounded in CLC’s legal expertise and experience.
Children and young people have the right to express their views and have those views taken seriously.
Youth@CLC gives children and young people opportunities to shape CLC’s work and influence the issues that affect their lives.
Participation should be meaningful. Children and young people are not simply consulted; their experiences, ideas and priorities should help shape decisions and drive change.
