25th anniversary since Australia signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child

This week is Children's Week (24 October–1 November 2015)  and this year marks the 25th anniversary since Australia signed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child (UNCRC). Much of our research draws on the UNCRC as a guiding principle. We frequently quote articles 12 and 13 that encourage us to listen to children's views on things that matter to them.
