My Rights, My Say advocacy helps children speak up about what’s important to them at school.
My Rights, My Say offers independent support to practitioners to gather children’s views.
My Rights, My Say offers teaching resources and template letters to help children access their rights.
“Advocacy really helped me when I was struggling with a lot of things at home and school and trying to multi-task. It helped ease my stress having someone to talk to when I was worried about school.”
