Proposal for Children's Commissioner for NI

The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission fully supports the proposal to
establish an independent Children’s Commissioner for Northern Ireland. Before
looking at the role which such an office could and should play, and in order to put that
role into some context, I will provide a brief description of the powers and duties of
the Human Rights Commission and a short summary of the work the Commission has
been able to undertake to date in relation to children’s human rights.
