A rights-based approach to monitoring children and young people’s well-being

This Foundation Report is the First in a Special Report Series addressing the well-being of children and youth in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Its main purpose is to contribute to a shared understanding of a human rights-based approach to monitoring the well-being of children and young people, with the intention of embedding this approach in current thinking and practice. The report corresponds with three key UNESCO aims: to strengthen awareness of human rights; to act as a catalyst for regional and national action in human rights; and to foster co-operation with a range of stakeholders and networks working with,or on behalf of, children and youth.
