Article 27

  • Children and young people have the right to a standard of living that helps them develop fully.
  • Parents have the main responsibility for making sure children and young people get this right.
  • Governments must support parents. The amount of help the Government gives depends on how rich the country is.

England has one of the lowest ages in Europe for when children can be charged by the police of committing a crime and taken to court – just 10 years. Young people cannot legally buy a pet or fireworks until they are 18 years.
