Realising children' rights

The two-day course outlined in these pages is designed to familiarise groups of care professionals with the international standards and principles surrounding children’s rights – and above all, to relate this to the daily experience and challenges arising in the field of alternative care. The course is intended to provide participants with the information, motivation and strategies that they can use to carry children’s rights
into their daily work. The aim is to contribute to higher quality care and a culture of respect for children’s rights.
The manual is intended for use in institutions which carry out pre-service or in-service training of care professionals. We hope that it may become a standard component in the training offered to all care professionals with responsibilities for children living in alternative care.
