We are pleased to announce 2 exciting funded PhD studentships at the Centre for Children’s Rights.

1. Deaf children and young people’s rights shorturl.at/NL6lt

2. Developing a child-led measure of poverty: see here:https://shorturl.at/lzamB

Application deadline for both is 31st March 2025.

Look forward to an International Day of Disabled People where we might have something concrete to celebrate... 😬. Not disabled people's supposed 'resilience', 'inspirational' endeavours or 'ability' but effective realisation of our rights and entitlements. Too much to ask for?

We are looking forward to engaging with everyone on all things #ChildrensRights here. Check out our webpage and courses here www.qub.ac.uk/research-cen...

Assisted dying could leave disabled people in a ‘vulnerable position’, says NI campaigner tells @beltel.bsky.social

Dermot Devlin has called for more investment in the healthcare system instead

I have produced a #StarterPack for people working on
#childrensrights internationally, regionally and nationally. If you're not included and work in the area, that is solely down to my Bluesky incompetence - please just let me know and I will add you.

I have been 'lucky' so far not to have had many rejections with my Hearing Dogs but much more awareness needed across services and facilities. #AssistanceDog

Excellent video from @mywayaccess.bsky.social on why we should be so concerned about the assisted dying bill and its implications for the value we accord to disabled people's lives. The #CRPD is a crucial roadmap to assisted living, fundamental entitlements & minimum standards that aren't being met.
