I support Caleb’s campaign. We need big changes for children & young people with special educational needs & disability. Government & public bodies are required to work together in the interest of children and young peoples wellbeing bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…

.@ChrisNICCY backs calls to ban smacking in Northern Ireland and England following a report from the @RCPCHtweets. bbc.in/3U0ujYA
Scotland and Wales have already joined more than 60 other counties in putting in measures to prohibit all physical punishment of children. We call on politicians in England and Northern Ireland to follow their lead and work to #EndPhysicalPunishment. rcpch.ac.uk/resources/equa…
Children who experience physical punishment are… 2.6x more likely to experience mental health problems 2.3x more likely to experience serious physical assault and abuse. #EndPhysicalPunishment #EqualProtection
While adults in the UK are protected from all forms of assault, in England and Northern Ireland, a parent can use the defence of ‘reasonable punishment’ to justify physically punishing a child in certain circumstances. We’re calling for an end to this unjust and vague law.
Today we've published a new report setting out the health, education and legal case to remove the ‘reasonable punishment’ defence in England and Northern Ireland. It's time to give every child #EqualProtection from assault and #EndPhysicalPunishment. rcpch.ac.uk/resources/equa…

“It’s hard not to get angry” says Commissioner for Children & Young People at launch of @RCPCHIreland’s report on paediatric waiting times in NI. Recommendations straight from young people today who want better, supportive communication & to be involved decisions that affect them
A deeply concerning report. Our legal team at CLC works day and daily with children denied suitable access to services. Children have a right to access health services in a timely manner, as protected in articles 6, 23 and 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
NI Commissioner for Children & Young People, Chris Quinn welcoming the #WorriedAndWaiting report and the stark findings: "Behind each statistic are children who are facing barriers and delays in treatment and care" @ChrisNICCY @nichildcom
Absolute pleasure to speak at the #LeadingLundy networking event today Child & youth voice is such an important aspect of the UN Convention on the rights of the child It’s important that we protect children’s rights in law, that their voices are listened to, and acted upon 🗣️
Really important debate in @niassembly tomorrow @SDLPlive @MatthewOToole2 Addressing the Benefit Cap #CliffEdge25 and mitigating the 2 child limit (as per @LesAllamby Review) would be a huge step forward in addressing #childpoverty #FightPoverty
3/3 The #WorriedandWaiting report highlights some 22,272 children were on a paediatric outpatient waiting lists in Northern Ireland in 2023 - a record high - and a staggering increase of 22.5% from 2022.
2/3 Children and young people attending Paediatric Outpatient Clinics and in school settings in Northern Ireland provided experience and insight which is integral to the report recommendations. @RCPCH_and_Us #WorriedAndWaiting report. 👇
