The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a legally binding international agreement that outlines the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion, or abilities.
The Young Flintshire Participation Model supports all articles in the UNCRC, particularly Article 12, which states that young people have the right to express their views on matters affecting them, and for those views to be given due consideration.
