Children & Young People’s Charter

This charter has been created by Aberdeenshire’s children and young people, for Aberdeenshire’s children and young people.

The 7 charter statements represent Aberdeenshire children and young people’s voices, and reflect what they have told us is most important to them.

This declaration reflects a commitment across the Community Planning Partnership to uphold the values of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and to work from a foundation of Children’s Rights.

It sets out the rightful expectations all children and young people can and should have, of all organisations, services, politicians, communities, and individuals working in Aberdeenshire.

  1. Include us in any decisions made about our lives and explain what’s happening. Don’t guess, ask us what we think, and if something can’t happen tell us why.
  2. Give us opportunities. Let us show you what we can achieve when you give us a chance to try.
  3. Make sure our voices are heard. Show us you are listening by taking action.
  4. Don’t judge us, and try to understand our experiences. Realise we all make mistakes, and give us information to help us make good choices.
  5. Celebrate Diversity and take steps to stop bullying and discrimination. Encourage us to be confident and to express ourselves as individuals. Find ways which help us all feel we belong.
  6. Respect us and take our worries seriously. Make sure we get help from the right people, when we need it.
  7. Treat our information with care. If personal information needs to be shared, let us know who needs it, and explain why.
