2023 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) – Sydney

The Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) and its partners held a 2-day intensive training program to build knowledge and understanding of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and the Australian reporting process to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (Committee), with a focus on implementation of the Committee’s Concluding Observations (Recommendations) and Australia’s next report.

This 2-day intensive training program enabled government officials and NGOs to build their knowledge and understanding of the CRC and its principles - including the influential interpretations of the Committee - and relate the CRC and the Committee’s Concluding Observations to relevant policy and practice in Australia.

This training program follows successful pilot programs held in Sydney in 2017, Darwin in 2019, Brisbane in 2020 and Melbourne in November.

The workshop was held on 28 February - 1 March in Sydney.
