This report from the Children’s Commissioners of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) informs the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child’s development of the List of Issues Prior to Reporting related to the UK’s Combined Sixth and Seventh Periodic Reports under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The report identifies emerging trends and key issues, some of which draw on previous concluding observations while others reflect worrying trends caused by the UK’s departure from the European Union (Brexit) and the Covid-19 pandemic. This report is supported by an annex which outlines Childrens Rights in the UK in the context of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
