Description:
Just for Kids Law is a UK children's rights charity that provides legal advice and representation to children and young people aged 10 to 25 in London. It represents children and young people in the criminal justice system, and also helps children in care and care leavers secure the support they are entitled to from local authorities. It uses evidence from this casework to campaign and bring strategic litigation for wider reform. The Children's Rights Alliance for England (CRAE), which is part of Just for Kids Law, monitors UK government compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The charity has been involved in cases that changed the law on criminal records and joint enterprise. The site includes news stories, blogs, and regular newsletters.
