Meeting the legal needs of children and young people in Ireland

We have launched a landmark Report which sets out a blueprint for meeting the legal needs of children and young people in Ireland into the future.

Written by children’s rights expert Róisín Webb, this Report was commissioned by Community Law & Mediation and funded by the RTÉ Toy Show Appeal in partnership with Community Foundation Ireland.

Highlighting the unique nature of children’s legal needs, the Report points to the need for a specialist law centre that will champion access to justice for children and young people as an essential component in ensuring children’s rights are protected, respected and vindicated.
