xBriefings on UN Committee’s recommendations

The Children’s Alliance Rights for England has partnered with UNICEF UK and the Equality and Human Rights Commission to publish three briefings to help parliamentarians and Civil Society organisations hold government to account to ensure the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child’s (UN Committee) latest Concluding Observations on the UK are taken forward.
The Concluding Observations are the UN Committee's assessment of how well the UK Government and devolved administrations are respecting children’s rights following their examination last year by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). While the UN Committee noted some areas of progress since its 2016 report on the UK, it highlighted a wide range of issues that are detrimentally impacting on children and made nearly 200 recommendations for action. It is important that these recommendations are now implemented.
The first briefing sets out how the CRC and the Concluding Observations can be a useful tool for parliamentarians and civil servants. The second summarised the UN Committee’s recommendation in relation to the UNCRC General Measures of Implementation and the last briefing summarises the key thematic issues and recommendations raised by the UN Committee.
