All Jersey government staff will have to complete children's rights training.
The hour-long interactive course will help staff to identify what
children's rights are, why they are important and how the government and
individuals can promote them.
The new training comes ahead of a proposed law change, which will see the government and some public authorities have to prove that they have considered children's rights.
The 'Due Regard' law is expected to be debated later this year or in early 2022.
