On World Children’s Day (20 November) this week children from schools across Nottingham came together to mark the day and to launch Child Friendly Nottingham’s children and young people’s survey.
This is another important step on Nottingham’s ambition to be an accredited UNICEF Child Friendly City.
The event at the Council House was about fun and interactive activity and was themed around Your Voice Matters – Get It Heard. Children took part in website design, voting exercises, designing their own Nottingham children’s magazine, working with sports clubs and key Nottingham partners.
The event highlighted the importance of children and young people getting opportunities to be heard and have their views and experiences taken seriously.
The Child Friendly City (CFN) programme builds on the rights of the child and work is being carried out across the partnership in areas children and young people prioritise.
