Creative organisations and businesses can choose to commit to a Charter of Rights for Children and Young People.

A Charter of Rights sets out the rights of children and young people who engage with your organisation. It also provides information about where they can get help if they feel unsafe.

Displaying a Charter of Rights shows children, young people and their families that you recognise their rights and are committed to respecting them. 

You can also include a copy in a welcome pack or induction pack to make sure that anyone new to your organisation is clear on your commitment.

Your organisation can: 

• Create one tailored to suit your organisation
• Use the Creative Workplaces Charter of Rights

Create your own Charter of Rights

A Charter of Rights should be short, simple and easy for everyone to understand — children, young people and their families, as well as the adults that engage with children and young people at your organisation.

Our guided template can step you through some things to think about when creating your own Charter of Rights for Children and Young People.
