Prof Jane Murray challenges us to confront the gap between the promise of the UNCRC and today’s realities.

Protection. Provision. Participation. For all children, from the very start.

My fabulous colleague from @swanseauni.bsky.social the wonderful Jane Williams presenting at our CREY network bi-annual conference.
Mae’r Athro Jane Williams yn ein hatgoffa bod arfer sy'n seiliedig ar ymchwil yn golygu defnyddio ymchwil a hawliau plant i arwain gwaith blynyddoedd cynnar. Mae hawliau'n llywio sut rydym yn deall ymchwil, yn dylanwadu ar weithredoedd, ac yn adlewyrchu gwerthoedd craidd.

Inspired by the keynote at #BECERA2025 by @lauralundy.bsky.social. A really interesting talk with attention to the #humanright of dignity.
It triggered my ongoing thoughts around the issue of young childrens 'awareness' of the right to be heard, and the gap between this (5-7yr) and adult experiences
