International standards, and many national laws, recognise that children and young people have a right to express their views and to have their wishes and feelings reflected in decisions affecting them.Under the project 'Unlocking Children’s Rights', Coram International and partners from ten EU member-state countries, developed an innovative and free training resource that enables professionals and practitioners working with children to:

• strengthen their knowledge of children’s rights;
• communicate effectively; and
• ensure that children participate meaningfully in the decisions affecting them.

The Project is co-funded by the Fundamental Rights and Citizenship Programme of the European Union and part funded by the Allan and Nesta Ferguson Charitable Trust. Please see the attached for more details.
