Event Details
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted twenty years ago on 20 November 1989. The Childcare Act came into law in England in 2006, and included specific duties for local authorities (LAs) to have regard to the views of young children and their parents. Legislation is in place to protect and ensure the rights and entitlements of young children and for services to listen to the voice of our youngest citizens – But, to what extent are we listening? And how much is what we learn from children informing service design, planning and delivery?
This conference will:
- examine where we are today regarding listening to children and responding to the voice of the child in practice and policy
- explore the challenges involved
- discuss ways in which children's rights, specifically the right to be listened to, can be kept central to all decisions that affect them
- discuss the role of legislation and whether more is needed
The day will include: a key-note speech from Y. Penny Lancaster, presentations and displays from LAs across England, and workshops on a range of aspects of listening; including training, leadership and supporting parents.
Who’s it for?
This will be of particular interest to early years advisers, managers, practitioners, consultants, strategic leads and participation officers who want to; increase their knowledge and awareness, network and share good practice on listening to young children.
YCVN Networking Meeting
The conference will end with a YCVN Networking Meeting at 15:15 which is optional please indicate if you will be attending when you book on. This meeting is open to all who took part in the YCVN pilot project, as well as LAs and organisations that would like to join the national network. Everybody is welcome.
