This report presents the findings of a participatory research project with a Youth Advisory Panel in Ireland designed to better understand children’s knowledge of their own rights, identify gaps in their knowledge and skills, and to develop recommendations that will help to address those gaps in CRE through policy
and practice. The project was commissioned by the Children’s Rights Alliance and undertaken by researchers from the School of Education, University College Dublin.
This project has received funding from the Irish Human Rights and Equality Grants Scheme as part of the Commission’s statutory power to provide grants to promote human rights and equality under the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014.
