Each child has a right to be treated as an individual • Each child who can form a view on matters affecting him or her has the right to express those views if he or she so wishes • Parents should normally be responsible for the upbringing of their children and should share that responsibility • Each child has the right to protection from all forms of abuse, neglect or exploitation • So far as is consistent with safeguarding and promoting the child’s welfare, the public authority should promote the upbringing of children by their families • Any intervention by a public authority in the life of a child must be properly justified and should be supported by services from all relevant agencies working in collaboration.
