Until February 2023, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child will host a series of offline and online consultations and workshops with the global community, including specific consultations with children and young people, to inform the General Comment launching in 2023. The invitation can be found here https://childrightsenvironment.org/global-community/
In the absence of a feedback tool for children aged birth - 5 years, Woden Valley ELC has created this survey.
* In the PDF attached, you will find the survey pages are in a strange order that will make sense if you ask your printer to print two pages per A4 sheet. This will then make an A5 booklet.
Why participate?
The Convention on the Rights of the Child requires States parties to “assure the child who is capable of forming his or her own views has the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child(...)” (Art. 12).
This survey aims to identify and remove barriers that children (birth to 5 years) face in accessing the full enjoyment of their human rights. In the below video, you can see how we’ve used the survey with the children at our Centre.
This survey gives children in early learning settings an opportunity to have their opinion on the environment documented and submitted to the United Nations by the 15th of February, 2023.
Have your say!
