Your opportunity as a young person to have a say about the health services available to you.

# data[].attributes.body
Barnardo’s Voice and Influence Team is committed to creating safe, ethical, inclusive, and meaningful opportunities for young people to have their voice heard and acted upon across the charity.

Fundamental to this, aligned to our charity values, is a belief in the unique value and unique worth of all people, and that all people shall be treated fairly and have equal access to opportunities.

We recognise that in the spaces and communities we work with power is not held equally, and that individuals and groups have been and continue to be discriminated against, and oppressed.

We therefore affirm our determination to work in an anti-oppressive and anti-racist way, challenging and redressing the imbalance of power in all areas of our work.

We also recognise that this is a learning journey, and welcome challenge and support from colleagues across the charity to help us understand and continually do better.

We will be creating a safe space agreement together which are a set of agreed upon rules and guidelines within the Forum.

UN Conventions on Rights of a Child (UNCRC)

UN Conventions on Rights of a Child (UNCRC)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What is the UN Convention?

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is the basis of all of our work. It is the most complete statement of children's rights ever produced and is the most widely-ratified international human rights treaty in history.

What makes the UN Convention so special?

The Convention has 54 articles that cover all aspects of a child's life and set out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that all children everywhere are entitled to. It also explains how adults and governments must work together to make sure all children can enjoy all their rights.

Every child has rights "without discrimination of any kind, irrespective of the child's or his or her parent's or legal guardian's race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status" (Article 2).

The Convention must be seen as a whole: all the rights are linked and no right is more important than another. The right to relax and play (Article 31) and the right to freedom of expression (Article 13) have equal importance as the right to be safe from violence (Article 19) and the right to education (Article 28).

We are the only organisation working for children recognised by the Convention.

The Convention is also the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world. All UN member states except for the United States have ratified the Convention. The Convention came into force in the UK in 1992.

We’re pleased to share our new Recognition and Reward approach to engagement.

We want to make sure we acknowledge your contributions in a clear and meaningful way.

From now on, whenever we share opportunities to get involved in, we will always include details on any recognition or reward attached to the opportunity. Our usual NHS Youth Forum sessions and Young Researcher sessions wont be attached to a reward, but we want to recognise when you have put in extra time or effort for opportunities that sit outside these regular sessions. The recognition will usually be in the form of an e-voucher and we will always be upfront with the amount, this will be based on the type of activity and the amount of time required.
