Global Child Forum
February 2021
From autumn 2019 to autumn 2020, a research project with the aim of developing a better understanding of current business practices of children’s participation was undertaken.The project originated from the Global Child Forum Pledge, initiated at the Global Forum 2018. It was also a follow-on from the 2018 Roundtable on Children’s Participation.
The project was led by Tara Collins, Associate Professor at the School of Child and Youth Care (Ryerson University) and Kay Tisdall, Professor of Childhood Policy (University of Edinburgh) jointly. It resulted in a resource to introduce and explain principles, concepts and practical considerations, in order to fill gaps in understanding the practices of children’s participation in business.

In the final days before lockdown was introduced in the United Kingdom, CRIN hosted a panel discussion on surveillance and facial recognition at the Tate Modern where we addressed some of the risks they pose for children’s rights. Since then, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced many people to move their lives almost exclusively online, as adults began working from home and schools resorted to online learning. Such big changes, however, raise basic questions.
On June 9, CCR CSR’s Executive Director Ines Kaempfer facilitated an online session on “The Role of Business in Mitigating the Social Impact of the COVID-19 Crisis on Workers and Families” at the UN Virtual Forum on Business and Human Rights.
