National Association of Young People In Care would like a Youth Budget by law

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Governments reflect on taking away the funding in 1994 of the only union the National Association of Young People In Care that dared to speak out publically about the cases, that have now been exposed as truth, in the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. £1 per child per year, a youth budget
We want a YE-HA (Youth Economy) Bill by law
The Children’s Act 1989 said consult children/young people based on their age and understanding.
The UNCRC 1989 said ‘freedom of expression’ and ‘freedom of association’, for children to meet and form associations was a right.
We had 30 child abuse inquiries since 1970.
There is no central agency that expresses the child’s view-point on any issue of public importance that concerns children and young people directly. We want NAYPIC to lead the way..
