UNCRC: Children’s Wrongs
Remember the Right Words, Wrong Order video we posted last week? Well we’re back again with another great video.
This one is called Children’s Wrongs. It starts off with a poem by an evil man before turning into a brief history of the UNCRC (United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child) and why it's important and just plain great.
The UNCRC is an international agreement that protects the human rights of people under the age of 18 and Wales was the first country in the UK to fully adopt this and implement it in to its policy making. There’s a whopping 42 parts to it that directly concerns young people (you can see them all here) and most of them will be self-evident but that doesn’t mean they’re not important or can be ignored.
The video comes from the Let’s Get It Right website which is this massive resource tool for teachers and youth workers to spread the message about the UNCRC. We’ve decided to cherry-pick some of the more interesting parts and post them here on CLIC. Keep an eye out for more videos and interactive widgets over the next couple of weeks.

I LOVE this! Being the only one out of all my friends who can say what the UNCRC is with confidence, it gets quite annoying when you're trying to argue that you have a right for whatever with the teacher and none of them can back you up
Something like this desperately needed to be posted on a website such as Clic, you've done a great job by the way :D
