Last night I spoke to members of the Rotary eClub of Brindabella at the invitation of president, Dr Travis Holland. (https://rotarye-clubofbrindabella.org.au/)
Let’s ensure we support children’s communication
Communication is a human right for all; including children with speech, language, and communication needs and those who speak/sign non-dominant languages (McLeod, 2018). Aligning with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (United Nations, 1989) the Charles Sturt University Children’s Voices Centre have given attention to the “voice” of children. We have creatively engaged in child-friendly methods to provide children with the “right to freedom of expression… regardless of frontiers” as outlined in Article 13. We have the power to support children’s voice and to assist others to listen. How can we support children’s participation within democratic processes in their families, schools, communities, and society?
