Children's Rights and the Law in a Time of Coronavirus Part 1 - DSC Children's Rights Group Webinar

Children's rights have been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis. Child-related impacts of the pandemic - and the actions taken by Government in response to it - range from experiencing food shortages to missing months of education, from increased exposure to violence in the home to mental health risks. However, the child rights aspects of the crisis have thus far gone largely unnoticed. The speakers will be: Professor Aoife Nolan, Caoilfhionn Gallagher QC, Jamie Burton and Adam Wagner. Speakers will address the international and domestic legal frameworks on child rights, as well as providing an in-depth look at recent changes made to the safeguards and regulatory frameworks for children in need, child protection, and the right to education.
