Establishing a Children's Rights Commissioner would help to ensure that politicians, policy-makers and practitioners take children seriously. Since first publication of this title in 1991 support for establishing a UK-wide office of Children's Rights Commissioner has grown: now, more than 80 national organizations support the proposal set out in detail in the report. Internationally, independent offices to promote the human rights of children have been established in many countries, as one response to implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Young Carers in Their Own Words

Andrew Bibby and Saul Becker

Nine artists, successful in different branches of the arts, each kept a diary over a period of a few months reflecting on their work in progress. The resulting narratives make an absorbing read and powerfully illuminate the process of making art. Music is improvised and composed, new art works conceived and diaplsyed or performed, a novel is completed, poems are written, new plays evolve and old plays are reinterpreted. The diaries offer glimpses into the authors' personal and professional lives and though each is distinctively different, all reveal that art is made in a practical matter-of-fact way. Though often obsessed with their work, these contemporary artists do not live the cliche of Romantic torment, nor do they indulge in self-expression. Dreaming up ideas is relatively easy, realising them is harder. They break boundaries of language and art form and all work internationally. They are inquiring, adventurous, as interested in the telling detail as in the grand design, self-mocking, problem-solving, inventive, diverse, ambitious, open-minded, sexy, fun.
