Your Rights

Me as a Citizen

As a young person you should be treated with the same respect as an adult.

If there is an issue that you would like legal advice on there are several sources of help. Visit the links on the right, or contact your local Go for it centre or Youth Adviser in school.

If you have need of support from a local agency or organisation, you may hear about the Common Assessment
Framework (or CAF) which is a new way of working with children
and young people. It involves listening to you to find out your needs, and what is working well in your life. To find out more, download this CAF leaflet for children and young people.
