Children’s Rights: Ignored, Forgotten, or Misunderstood?

In this bold episode of Safeguarding Redefined, Chris chats with Elizabeth Macauley, to ask the tough questions: Are we truly hearing what children have to say? Are we giving them the power to shape their own futures?We dive into why children’s rights are still patchy and poorly understood across different services. In schools and social care, they’re known — but what about in the police, healthcare, and beyond? Why is this still happening in 2025?And which prominent country hasn't joined the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)?-----Safeguarding Redefined is brought to you by Cornerstone Safeguarding - supporting those who carry the weight of supporting others.We’re redefining safeguarding - not as a checklist, but as a culture.One built on supervision, strategy, and support, so you’re never doing it alone.--Need fresh safeguarding insights, priority access to support, and exclusive discounts - all in one place?Join⁠ Cornerstone Connect⁠  - our FREE membership programme designed to keep you informed, equipped, and ahead. Enjoy early bird discounts, priority event booking, and regular safeguarding updates straight to your inbox!Producers of this episode: Chris East, Leah EastHost of this episode: Chris EastFollow On LinkedInChris EastLeah East Cornerstone SafeguardingLearn more at https://www.cornerstonesafeguarding.co.uk
