Redbridge Council is working towards recognition as a UNICEF Child Friendly Community

This means we’re putting children’s rights high up in our priorities. We’re speaking to children and getting them involved in local projects and helping them to help us create a borough that works for them. We’re using their experiences, listening to their views, and upholding children’s rights wherever we can.

Rights Week 2024 is an opportunity to raise awareness about this work at Redbridge as well as host training sessions for local children, which will be run by the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) Child Friendly Cities & Communities programme team, where children can find out about their international legal rights. The sessions are fun and interactive, and young people who have previously undertaken this training have given us excellent feedback.

    As part of Rights Week 2024, an assembly/lesson plan has been co-created by teachers from 4 Redbridge schools.

    The first 9 slides are the plan, within which slide 6 has a link to a two-minute film explaining children’s rights. The remaining slides detail the many ways in which children can get involved in the various Council led activities and have a voice in decision making. Notes have been provided within the presentation to provide further information for teachers.

    In support of CFR Rights Week 2024, we ask that you hold an assembly/lesson between 15/04/24 – 26/04/24 using the plan attached. We would love for you to share feedback and quotes from children about what they have learnt about their rights.

    This could include photos of children in places and spaces in Redbridge that they feel are Child-friendly. This can be done as simply or creatively as they wish, all we ask is if children wish to take pictures, they ensure that their faces are hidden (similar to the picture in the last slide of the presentation). Feedback can be sent to: cfr@redbridge.gov.uk

    Thank you!

    Child Friendly Redbridge Team

    Redbridge Council is taking part in Child Friendly Cities & Communities - a UNICEF UK programme that works with councils across the UK to help them put children’s rights into practice. The programme aims to create cities and communities in the UK where all children – whether they are living in care, using a children’s centre, or simply visiting their local library – have a meaningful say in, and truly benefit from, the local decisions, services and spaces that shape their lives

    What does this mean for Redbridge?

    Redbridge Council is proud to be part of the UNICEF UK Child Friendly Cities & Communities programme. This programme is part of a global UNICEF initiative to give children and young people their rights. We aim to put the voice of those aged 25 and below at the heart of local decision making by developing a child's rights-based approach; we want children and young people in Redbridge to feel safe, heard, cared for and able to flourish.
