Child Autonomy: Thinking about children's human rights

from Talking Children Podcast Hosted by Sarah Verdon

In this episode we discuss the UN Declaration on the Rights of the Child and to what extent we are applying these rights to the lives of children in every day contexts. We specifically discuss the nuances of talking about autonomy, control and consent with people who have communication difficulties and neurodivergent children.
