Partnership Working

The Children’s Society works in partnership with other voluntary organisations and agencies to share experiences and maximise our impact.

• Children are Unbeatable! Alliance: campaigns for the UK to satisfy human rights obligations by modernising the law on assault to afford children the same protection as adults.
• Children’s Rights Alliance for England: is an alliance of voluntary and statutory organisations committed to the full implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
• End Child Poverty: works to eradicate child poverty in the United Kingdom.
• Every Disabled Child Matters Campaign is the campaign to get rights and justice for every disabled child.
• Refugee Children's Consortium: works to ensure that the rights of refugee children, whether unaccompanied or with their families, are respected in accordance with the relevant domestic, regional and international standards. The Children’s Society is currently chairing the consortium.
• Special Educational Needs Consortium: set up to protect and promote the interests of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities when there are proposals for changes in legislation, regulations or guidance.
• Standing Committee on Youth Justice: this forum works to promote the welfare of children who become engaged in the youth justice system and advocates for a child-focussed youth justice system that promotes the integration of such children into society and thus serves the best interests of the children themselves and the community at large.
