We are thrilled to kick off season 2(!) with a bang in the form of a meaty, rich conversation with Eloise Rickman, author of It's Not Fair: Why It's Time For A Grown-Up Conversation About How Adults Treat Children. We hadn't thought about children's rights much before reading Eloise's book (have you?) and now it's all we want to think about. What are children's rights? How can we think about them in the context of parenting? What is adultism? Should kids vote? What even is a child and who gets to decide? Why hasn't the U.S. ratified the UN Convention on the Rights Of The Child? (anyone, anyone?) If it's our goal to respect the rights of our children at all times, how do we get our kids to go to bed?Also: Random TMI about Sarah & Miranda's exercise habits.

Since Dr Robyn Miller started working with isolated, vulnerable families 40 years ago, she has seen enormous changes in the way that children’s needs are understood and responded to. When the Victorian child protection system was overhauled to enshrine the rights of the child as its guiding principle, Robyn became its inaugural Principal Practitioner. In that role she translated the rights of the child into child protection practice. Robyn is still advancing the rights of young people in the child protection system, but now it is in her role as the CEO of a large Community Sector Organisation. LINKS Are We Caring for Everyone?

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented stress to families, trying to maintain a work-family balance. With schools and day care facilities closed, parents are solely responsible for childcare and perhaps even homeschooling. The work-family balance has become increasingly challenging and uncertainty remains around when schools will reopen. To meet the social and emotional needs of children, as well as the adults who care for them, there is need to orient ourselves to the new situation – and the sooner we accept this the faster we will be able to live a balanced life as children are looking up to us. We need to cater for the needs of children, while coexisting with the other members of the family. Montessori principles provide a good guidance on the ways to support children and lead a happy family life during these difficult times. Montessori for Kenya organised an online talk to orient the general public on the best ways to support children and other members of the family at home to live a happy life. Guest speaker Helen Mohan Elias has vast experience in introducing Montessori principles into missionary and government schools in India and will share her knowledge on Parenting and Community engagement during these challenging times.

In conversation with Professor Ann Skelton In this week’s episode, Professor Ann Skelton walks us through her journey and work in children’s rights. She discusses the positive implications of the Committee on the Rights of the Child to host the first ever United Nations treaty body session outside of Geneva in March 2020 in Samoa. She goes on to discuss the impact of COVID-19 and how it affects state reporting at the United Nations level and how it affects the observation and promotion of the rights of the child. Professor Ann Skelton encourages women to take opportunities when they come, as they come and to work hard at those opportunities. Her advice to aspiring career women, is that they should ensure that they do what they are passionate about, and if they are not sure what that is, to expose themselves to the field of work until something starts pressing their buttons which should motivate them to want to make a difference. Professor Ann Skelton is a professor of law at the University of Pretoria, where she holds the UNESCO Chair in Education Law in Africa. She is also the former director of the Centre for Child Law which promotes children’s rights in South Africa through advocacy, law reform, research and litigation. She is a practicing lawyer who often appears in South African courts, arguing landmark children’s rights cases. Professor Ann Skelton is a member of the Committee on the Rights of the Child.

Following on from last week's episode of the HJ Talk About Abuse podcast, Alan Collins and Mike Dunn discuss the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and whether in reality, it means anything, especially within the context of the States of Jersey? To quote from the UK Parliament’s Human Rights Joint Committee report of 2015: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is the most universally accepted of all UN human rights instruments and the most comprehensive in its promotion of children's rights—civil, political, economic, social and cultural—informing other human rights standards through a framework of state responsibilities applicable to all children within signatory states' jurisdictions. Yet the joint committee notes that the Convention is not incorporated into UK law: Moreover, while the Convention has not been incorporated into UK law and is therefore not directly justiciable in UK courts—that is to say, an individual cannot go to a UK court to complain about a breach of any of the rights in the Convention—the conclusions and recommendations of the UN Committee, while strictly speaking not legally binding, do provide an authoritative interpretation of the individual treaty obligations which are themselves legally binding on the UK. The Committee had previously recommended that the Convention be incorporated into law, having also noted the inadequacies that presented due to this failure. Sweden by contrast has incorporated the Convention and has recognised that doing this has been an aid to empowering children and young people. Alan argues that the Convention be incorporated into UK law. It should be so incorporated to give backbone to the necessary measures that are needed to ensure that child protection is adequate for the 21st Century; that those invested with responsibility for child protection, be they individuals or bodies, are in effect answerable to both children and society more broadly, and as such must always be held accountable for failures to protect or for inaction. The way this accountability is expressed or defined, and subsequently enacted, should therefore never amount to tokenism.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a legally-binding international agreement setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities.
It was November 20, 1989 that the UN General Assembly approved the Convention on the Rights of the Child -CRC- and opened it up for ratification. Within ten months, the requisite 20 nations had adopted the treaty bringing it into force.
Samoa will host the 30th UN conference on the Convention of the Rights of the Child. - O le a usuia i Samoa le fonotaga lona 30 a malo 'aufaatasi i mataupu i faamanuiaga faavae o le fanau.
The United Nations (UN), make international laws (among other incredible things that they do, like peace keeping in war zones!). They have a conventions (rules) about how to protect children, which every country in the world has signed up to (apart from one). But it doesn't include anything about protecting children and young people online as it was written 30 years ago, before the internet really existed. So, we were invited to a meeting with international experts in law and technology and children's rights to discuss why this is so important. We talked to UN Members from across the world, as well as people from Google, Roblox and international lawyers to name just a few of the incredible people who came together to work out how to make these changes. Not only did we learn about how the digital world grew into what it is today and but also about how we can use technology for good and protect people from the negative and intrusive effects it has on lives. At the end of the event interviewed Baroness Beeban Kidron from the charity 5Rights, who invited us to take part in the event. We talked to her about why protecting young people is so important to her and 5Rights and what it’s aim are. We can’t believe we got to be in the same room as these big conversations, to ask tough questions and to contribute to the ideas. Have a listen and tell us what you think. Thank you to 5Rights, to the United Nations and to Blooware Technology.

The book is a set of portraits from K-12 classrooms that illustrate how teachers used the U.N. Rights of the Child as a framework to engage students in critical inquiry of relevant social issues.
The Convention is the key piece of international law for the protection and fulfilment of the health, developmental, social, economic, and cultural needs of all children. WHO uses the CRC and works with countries to get the right laws and policies in place so that all kids get the food they need, the right treatment when they get sick, and grow up to be healthy adults.
