Derry City and Strabane District Council has become the first region in Northern Ireland and the second in the UK to receive UNICEF Child Friendly Community recognition.
This status acknowledges the area’s significant steps taken towards advancing the human rights of children and young people.
It comes after a seven-year journey with UNICEF UK, the council and its partners, to develop and deliver a comprehensive action plan to prioritise and uphold children’s rights across six priority areas.
