Children’s rights in parental support

Within the national strategy for strengthened parental support, children’s rights are fundamental in conjunction with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Children’s rights are to be clearly stated and acted upon when implementing the strategy. The task is to perform an overview of existing research on how and to what extent, children’s rights are taken into consideration in line with the CRC, within universal family support interventions. Additionally, successful methods related to family support interventions are to be identified.
