Over 10,000 policy makers and experts gathered in Bali to discuss climate change at the UN Conference.
The Children's Rights Alliance for England has just written a report about how well England is doing on improving Children's Rights. England has never fully signed up to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the report - 'State of Children's Rights in England' - says the Government isn't doing what the UN reccomended in a lot of areas either.
Roger Morgan, the Children's Rights director of England, did a survey on what young people living away from home think about the 'ContactPoint' database the Government is setting up. ContactPoint is meant to be used by people working with children, to make sure that you get the best care and help. But because it will have personal information on it, 83% of young people surveyed were worried that dodgy people might get acess to info about them. Specifically, they said that having phone numbers and photographs on the database made them feel unsafe.
