The Children’s Law Centre has relaunched its training offering with a mission to provide quality training courses, delivered by experts in children’s rights.

Led by our Training and Engagement Co-ordinator, Paul Hamilton, the new courses aim to increase awareness and knowledge of children’s rights for young people, carers, professionals and practitioners.

Initial training courses include:

• Advocating on Behalf of Children in Need, 9^th November 2023
• Article 21: Rights of Homeless Young People, 13^th November 2023
• Voice of the Child in Legal Proceedings, 27^th November 2023
• 15% Discount for booking all three in the series

Launching the new training calendar, Paul Hamilton said: “There has been a serious regression in children’s rights over the past decade. We’ve seen this in numerous reports and, at CLC, we’re seeing the impact of that through our advice services and legal work.

“There has never been a more important time to ensure people are aware of and understand children’s rights, whether that’s parents and carers, professionals and practitioners, or children and young people themselves.

“At CLC we believe children’s rights change children’s lives. Our training will aim to give people the knowledge and skills they need to use the rights framework as a tool to change the lives of children and young people.

“We’re also keen to listen to your needs and ensure our training is as effective as possible. That’s why we’re asking people to complete our short training needs assessment. We can also design bespoke training that’s specific for your organisation. Simply contact us to discuss how we can help.”
