Righting the Wrongs: The reality of children’s rights in Wales

This publication uses the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child’s reporting framework to provide an interim analysis of how far children’s rights have been realised in Wales since the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child highlighted its areas of concern in its last report on the UK in 2002.

This report includes the expertise of a diverse section of the non-governmental and academic community working with and for children and young people. Using the lens of children’s rights the different contributors provide detailed analyses on:

• Participation

• Corporal Punishment

• Child Protection

• Child Poverty

• Health Inequalities

• Education and Citizenship

• Asylum Seeker Children

• Disabled Children

• Looked After Children

• Sexual Exploitation

• Juvenile Justice

The publication also outlines measures taken to implement the UNCRC in Wales.
