The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)

October 23, 2020

YPAS is a rights respecting organisation and takes a rights based approach to our work. We have embarked on a project to raise awareness of the Rights of Children and Young People. The campaign will inform, educate and empower children and young people about their rights and what they mean and encourage others to learn more.

We have kick started our campaign with x14 videos featuring some of the UNCRC Articles. You can also view these videos directly on our YouTube playlist HERE

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
