UNICEF UK Child Friendly Cities & Communities

Unicef Child Friendly Communities is a UNICEF UK programme that works with councils and their partners to put children’s rights into practice.

The aim is to ensure that Children and Young People have a meaningful say in and can truly benefit from the services, places and spaces, which shape their lives.

The programme is shaped around the Seven Principles of a Child Rights Based Approach

There are four phases:

• Phase 1. Discovery
• ​Phase 2. Development
• ​Phase 3. Delivery
• Phase 4. Recognition (lasts for 3 years)
