Understanding Children's Human Rights

LSE Centre for the Study of Human Rights - 'Understanding Children's
Human Rights' short course: 6 June - 11 July

It is two decades since the groundbreaking UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) came into force, resulting in an exponential growth in child-related law and policy, both on the international and domestic levels. International human rights law now informs all elements of UK strategy and policy as it relates to children. Childcare professionals, including lawyers and those directly working with and for children must therefore understand and be able to apply the international human rights
law framework as it relates to children and young people.

To assist busy professionals in how to use human rights effectively, and be able to realise its potential, the LSE's Centre for the Study of Human Rights has devised an innovative course in Understanding Children's Human Rights.

This practically-focussed course, consisting of six two-hour seminars on consecutive Monday evenings (and an additional study seminar), places international human rights law as it affects children in perspective.

The course is designed for professional participants involved in either developing policy and practice in relation to children, or working in child rights and child protection. Lawyers working in child law will be able to use the course to update and develop their knowledge in this crucial area of their work. Equally the course will be highly beneficial for those who campaign for children's rights and those who are interested in the added value of human rights, and in discussing and analysing these issues.
