This week's Article of the Week is...
Article 18:
You have the right to be brought up by your parents if possible.
What does this mean?
Article 18 of the UNCRC says that a child or young person's parents will normally have the main responsibility for bringing them up. They should both do this, both share responsibilities, and both be concerned with the best interests of the child or young person in their care.
If a child or young person only lives with one parent, their other parent should provide them with support. The form this support takes will depend on what that child or young person's best interests are. Children and young people shouldn’t be discriminated against if their parents aren’t married or never were.
What if this is not possible?
When it isn’t possible for a child or young person to be brought up by their parents, they should be cared for.
Here's a quick link to some useful information for parents and carers, including home learning apps and the school's communication app.
