Children Participatory Rights' and 'Civic' or 'Public' Engagement

Summary

Young people have a right to contribute in civic issues. The Convention on the Child's Rights (CRC) to social work practice has strengthened this right. The organization provides an excellent framework for youth's civic engagement, particularly in social work. This research paper reviews social work literature (peer-reviewed) to explore how the CRC framework shapes community work scholarship on the contribution of children in civic duty. The review establishes that the organization is mirrored in outside United States. It also establishes that public work scholarship in the U.S. infrequently draws on the CRC and tenets associated to children's rights. The findings result in quantitative variations between children and adolescents' civic engagement scholarships in nations where the CRC is ratified. Literature outside the U.S. on social work provides practice examples, perspectives, and framing that can be utilized to position children’s' involvement within the U.S. States public work practice. The article discusses the CRC’s effects for children and adolescents' participation in civic engagement in the United States. It also explores possible future directions for studies and practice.

As a practice structure, children's participation in children engagement entails the impact and process of children taking part and impacting institutions influencing their lives. This critical perspective assumes children and young people as strengths, and significant public contributors. Many fields engage with young people. While this is the case, public work must play a principal role in enhancing and facilitating children's involvement in civic engagement. The National Association of Public Workers promotes a code of ethics that highlights the field's commitment in activities that empower children to follow valuable contribution in decision-making (Gordon, 1962). Although there are faculties and distinct practitioners who facilitate children's civic engagement, systematized efforts within the wider social work field are lacking.
