Equality and children’s rights

All children irrespective of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties or disabilities, gender or ability should have the opportunity to experience a challenging and enjoyable programme of learning and development. 

Disabled children have in the past been seen to be entitled to services rather than active participants in decision-making. This course explores the world from the child’s perspective.
