The UK has signed the UN convention on the Rights of Child, and it should therefore uphold the rights it contains for all children in its territory. But what does this really mean for children? What rights do they have and what can we do if they're not fulfilled? This interactive session gets participants thinking about these questions by taking them through a series of exercises to understand how children's rights are engaged during their day-to-day activities whether that be sleeping or playing games. This session is appropriate for all, including parents and children.

Dr Michael Lane is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Worcester. His research concerns the role of the United Nations in the UK. He is particularly interested in understanding how rights contained in international law are protected in the UK.
