Know your Rights
As human beings we all have rights. These are known as Human Rights. Human Rights covers all areas of life and all people. Children and young people have a special set of rights because being young sometimes makes them more vulnerable and in special need of care and protection.
The United nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) outlines the rights that children across the world have and sets out what governments must do to ensure that children everywhere have a good life.

Would someone from IAYPIC come with me to the Citizen Information office, i am a bit nervous going by myself ?
If you are a little nevous about going to the citizens advice by yourself, someone from IAYPIC can support you with this. If you are 17 & a half or over, our Aftercare Support & Advocacy Coordinator can support you. If you are under this age, then one of the Children's Rights & Participation Officers can support you. We can offer you support by helping you prepare for the meeting and going with you. Or depending on how soon the meeting is and where in the country you live, we can help you to identify someone else who could support you and go to the meeting with you.
