This week we explore Care and Adoption. There are many different reasons why children might not be looked after by their parents. And in these circumstances several articles of the Convention can help guide everyone to ensure that the child or young person’s best interests remain central to the decisions taken.
In this pack we link four articles which closely relate to a child’s situation when a decision is made that results in them being cared for by people other than their parents. However, there are many other articles that could apply.
We understand that this topic can be difficult for young people with experience of adoption and the care system, so please do take into account the situation of your learners before you proceed with activities from this pack.
