UNICEF representative calls for children's full participation in CCF

The CCF, a forum of 160 children representing all the districts countrywide, was established by Section 34 of the 2009 Children's Act to discuss issues affecting the education, health, safety and wellbeing of the child.

During a CCF meeting last week in Tlokweng, Emmanuel said that children who have been elected into the forum should be allowed to participate fully by managing the meeting as well as acting as directors of ceremony on the day. The meeting took place over two days with the participants expected to vote for a chairperson and vice-chairperson.
