Alongside Children’s Rights Alliance for England, part of Just for Kids Law, Children in Wales and the Children's Law Centre, we have written to the Commissioner for Human Rights. Within our letter, we highlight our concerns over the repeal of the Human Rights Act with the Rights Removal Bill. 

The Human Rights Act protects the rights of some of the most vulnerable children in society and it is crucial that their rights are not diluted in any way. We call on the Commissioner to raise our concerns about the detrimental impact these proposals will have on children with the UK Government during the Commissioner's visit and urge them to reconsider.
