An impressive amount of employees work directly with children, starting from teachers and LSEs, and continuing with social workers, health professionals, several psycho-social services, professionals working with NGO’s and many many others. This is not to mention parents who may also have an interest in understanding children’s rights, and the related issues of discrimination and inclusion.
The course covers several topics including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Maltese National Children’s Policy, the identification of barriers to child participation, information on how to promote participation and equality of access and how to promote all children’s entitlement to the full range of activities and learning experiences.
