CYCPS - Human rights information in scary times

Hi all
I received the CYPCS newsletter which provided an update on their status and useful information for families and young people please see below. Further information can be found at https://www.cypcs.org.uk/

Rights are there so that children and young people can lead safe and happy lives, and that doesn’t stop being true in difficult times.

Resources that can help

For children
Childline has people you can talk to at any time of day about any worries that you have. They’ll listen to you about what you have to say.

CBBC Newsround has lots of videos and advice for you if you’re worried about coronavirus. It’s also updating its page of advice for you if you’re worried by events in the news.

For young people
