Importance Of Human Rights Approach

Article 3 states that, in all actions concerning children, the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration;

Every Child Matters Framework which is currently in the process to be changed is part of the Children Act 2004; it is a piece of legislation which has and influences planning and provisions of learning opportunities. The Every Child Matters ensures that settings provide quality of children’s and young people’s play and learning.This supports children from birth to 19 years. When practitioners plan, they should relate their work to the five outcomes for children; be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve though learning, make a positive contribution to society and achieve economic

The rights of all children & young people are stated in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

This legislation states the rights the child has and what the Government must do to protect their rights. For example every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to develop their physical, mental and social needs and the Government must provide extra money for families in need if their standard of living is below par.

All Children and young people in your care should be treated with the same respect and have the same rights and access to

But children are a special case they cannot always stand up for themselves. They therefore need a special set of rights which take in to consideration their vulnerability and which ensures the adults that surround them take responsibly for their welfare, protection and development.

It includes the right to protection from abuse, the right to express their views and have them listened to and the right to care and services for disabled children or children living away from home. Although the Government has said it regards itself bound by the Convention and refers to it in child protection guidance, it has not become part of UK-wide law.

All these laws influence the rights of individuals. Every early years, childcare and educational organisation needs to have policies and practices that put these laws into action:

The convention on the rights of the child 1989- The Convention's objective is to protect children from discrimination, neglect and abuse. It is the principal children's treaty, covering a full range of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. It grants rights for children in peacetime as well as during armed conflict, and provides for the implementation of those rights. It can promote anti-discriminatory practice by giving children protection and rights. It can also make sure that children will be given somewhere safe to be; not near any war zones and hazardous areas which could cause ill- health.

The children act 1989 has influenced some settings by bringing together several sets of guidance and provided the foundation for many of the standards practitioners sustain and maintain when working with children. The act requires that settings work together in the best interests of the child and form partnerships with parents or carers. It requires settings to have appropriate adult to child ratios and policies and procedures on child protection. This act has had an influence in all areas of practice from planning a curriculum and record keeping. The every child matters framework has

The United Nations convention on the rights of the child is to promote all aspects for the care, development and education of children, non discrimination on the grounds of gender, religion, disability, language, ethnic/social origin, civil and political rights, economic, social, cultural and protective rights.

The Convention on the Rights of the child is an international treaty which has been adopted by the U.K. It was approved by

A framework called Hear by Right gives ideas to adults, young people and children on how they can be involved in the services provided for them and have their concerns taken seriously.

Both of these were made specifically for the parents, and are common sense to parents, they know these without second guessing themselves. When comparing all the rights and laws both groups have in determining whether if adults hold too much power over their kids, the main ones that must be focused on from the “Convention on the Rights of the Child” will be around the topic of what happens inside a household, and what things kids can do in a family environment, home. Article 1 & 2: Every child is considered someone who is under 18, no matter what their race/ethnicity. Article 3: Parents need to do what is best for their kid. Article 5: Families have the right to guide their child, but they cannot force the child to make difficult choices. Article 6: Be alive and have a healthy development. Article 9 : To be able to live with their parent(s), unless it is harmful. Article 12: Opinions and expressions are taken seriously. Article 13: Freedom of speech without causing harm to them or others. Article 14: Children can have any religion they want, but parents are encouraged to help guide their child into making the right one. Article 15: To create

Unquestionably, human rights correlates around the premise that globally all human beings should be treated equal through standard of equality for all. On the one hand, this is the case for most people, unfortunately on the other hand this is not the case for some people especially for the global Indigenous communities. While there are various national and international treaties and laws to protect the world Indigenous communities, according to Alexandra Xanthaki although there are three systems of International law to protect their rights including United National Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and the International Labour Organization Convention Concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries (1989), all three systems provide no effective protection (Xanthaki, A, 2000 pp.344). In addition, Odette Mazel has showed that International laws especially UNDRIP, recognises the needs of Indigenous societies. Still UNDRIP has continued to challenge the capacity of human rights enterprise to cope with radical diversity (Mazel, O. 2009 pp.147). Furthermore, Mazel continues to state that it’s an impossible task to secures Indigenous people right globally has proven impossible, as there are still issues such as the need to define Indigenous people, although the Indigenous communities have constantly denied the need for a formal definition. In contrast, all people in the global community is protected under one universal declaration for their
