Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister to provide an update on the work undertaken by UNESCO in relation to the child rights indicators.

Answer:

We are currently reviewing the child rights indicators identified by UNESCO. It is proposed that the indicators which have been developed will begin to be utilised to measure and report progress in due course, and work is continuing to identify additional measurable indicators. The development of a workable and deliverable Child Rights Indicator Framework is by its nature a ‘living’ mechanism and best taken forward in partnership with the voluntary and community sector and the Universities.
