A recent example would be the creation of the Children and Social Work Act (2017), where the Commissioner promoted the views and experiences of young people during the development of the Act. The Children’s Commissioner is also a member of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Action Group that is run by the department in conjunction with the Children’s Rights Alliance for England. The department is working with this group to put in place a children’s rights training package and children’s rights impact assessment for civil servants. The department continues to work closely with the Commissioner and her office, who provide an essential contribution to the work of the department.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 04/07/2018 11:15:27 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
