UNITED NATIONS - CHILDREN'S
SUMMIT
In 1990, world leaders got together to discuss
children.
They promised to give every child a better life and a better
future. Do children now have a better life and a more promising future?
In September 2001, the United Nations Special Session on Children,
known as the children's summit, will try to answer these and other related
questions.
It is important for us to hear from you about what changes
you want to see made.
Click
here to visit SCF's Summit Up! pages to learn more about the issues and to
have your say. . |

Did you
know that according to a 1994 Department of Health survey that.. .. 15% of families used severe punishment with the use of
implements and repeated actions over prolonged periods of time .. 29% of
children had been physically restrained in the previous year - including cold
bath/shower, hand/object over mouth, shaking, pushing, shoving and throwing.
.. 12% of children had experienced ingestion - forced to eat food, eat
something horrible, forced to drink salt water or had mouth washed out with
soap. SCF have recently published an online booklet to support
parents in managing childrens behaviour called "Parenting With Confidence". You
can view this on the main SCF website byclicking here.

Around the world, there are currently 20 million children who have
been forced from their homes by war. Many of these children find themselves
trapped within their own war torn countries without even the most basic means
of survival and cut off from the outside world. But even if they become
refugees in another country, they still face discrimination and huge
difficulties in getting access to basic services. Together, these are the
forgotten children that Save the Children is campaigning to protect.
For
more details of the forgotton children campaign
click here to visit the official SCF UK website The campaign is now focusing on
the situation of children who become refugees in the United Kingdom.

sharing her poem and sonnet dedicated to STCF with us Click Here to read them |
We are of
course a non religious non political charity but I know many of our supporters
have Christian beliefs and I copied out a
prayer, kindly provided by a
volunteer from Humberside. By changing the odd word the prayer could also be
used by other denominations . Please feel free to print it out and use it
as best you can. |
