Welcome to the BCN Practitioner Hub, an online space containing practitioner-related resources organised around the components of the care system. The hub's puzzle design demonstrates how the care system is the sum of many integrated parts and points to the importance of the systems strengthening agenda. As you explore the puzzle, you will find basic information, tools, videos, articles, and other resources related to each component and subcomponent of the care system. Please note that this practitioner hub is still in development.

Children and Young People

 

The Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as any person under the age of 18. There is no universally agreed definition of a young person, however, the UN defines youth as between the ages of 15-24. Children and young people are the focus of the care system, and are therefore important actors in shaping the system as well as its primary beneficiaries.
