The aim of this research funded by the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People, was to identify the gaps, problems and difficulties in the protection, promotion and implementation of children’s rights in Northern Ireland. The analysis, which follows focuses on the submissions received from 1067 school children from 27 schools drawn from the five Education and Library Boards in Northern Ireland. These children were aged between 5 and 16 (and up to 19 years of age in special schools) and were educated in mainstream schools, special schools and Irish medium schools. In identifying areas where children’s rights are underplayed or ignored, this research aims to assist the Commissioner’s understanding of the state of children’s rights in Northern Ireland as well as inform debate around consultation on the Commissioner’s priorities.

The review draws on research literature mainly from England and Northern Ireland, but elsewhere if this is relevant. The literature reviewed is that which is available in the public domain. It is recognised that many local agencies also carry out small scale projects or reports on their services, including users views of services, but these are not often available to include in reviews such as this.

While there were some examples of really excellent practice in devising and applying anti-bullying policies and in involving pupils in this, the general picture is of very limited participation of pupils. This seems to derive from the absence of any culture of pupil participation in policy making within schools. The interviews and discussions with pupils suggest that most have no sense of involvement in the way in which their school is run.
