The Convention on the Rights of the Child gives children the right to be heard. What does that mean?
In the exam (Swedish)
Barnkonventionen ger barn rätt att komma till tals. Vad innebär det?
- aThat children may vote in municipal and regional electionsAtt barn får rösta i val till kommunen och regionen
- bThat children decide for themselves in all matters that concern themAtt barn själva bestämmer i alla frågor som gäller dem
- cThat children must always do what their parents sayAtt barn alltid måste göra som föräldrarna säger
- dThat children's opinions must be heard in matters that concern themAtt barns åsikter ska höras i frågor som rör demCorrect answer
Why?
Children have the right to say what they think in matters that concern them, and adults must take their opinions seriously. How much weight the opinion has depends on the child's age and maturity, but the child does not decide alone.
Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Swedish, as shown above.
