UNICEF’s mission is to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF is guided in doing this by the provisions and principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Earlier this evening, my wife, Liz Wesley-Barker (Headteacher of Durweston Church of England Primary School near Blandford Forum) was interviewed by Steve Harris on BBC Radio Solent about the projects being done with children in Dorset schools to raise awareness of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
