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.
- 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.
- Give us opportunities. Let us show you what we can achieve when you give us a chance to try.
- Make sure our voices are heard. Show us you are listening by taking action.
- 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.
- 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.
- Respect us and take our worries seriously. Make sure we get help from the right people, when we need it.
- Treat our information with care. If personal information needs to be shared, let us know who needs it, and explain why.
