I wrote an article this year about privacy rights for the children of celebrities & am going to start chipping away at a follow-up piece. If anybody happens upon news stories or social media posts that discuss any interactions between celebrities with their children & press photographers, 1/2

‘They Did Not Ask For This Life’: A Child Rights Approach to Photographing the Children of Celebrities

Abstract
For years, there have been relentless pleas by celebrities for their children to be left alone by persistent and frightening paparazzi. Despite two seminal cases heard in UK courts in 2008 and 2014 concerning, respectively, the privacy rights of the children of J.K. Rowling and Paul Weller, a glance at the online pages of UK news outlets reveals that unpixellated photographs of celebrity children remain commonplace. This article will argue that not enough is being done to protect the children of celebrities from press intrusion, and that a child rights-based approach, couched in the best interests of the child, should be adopted, to better regulate the behaviour of the media when it comes to the taking and publishing of photographs of children, even if pixelated in the final publication.

This is such a comprehensive and clear summary of all of the challenges facing women in academia. But so frustrating that, 35 years since I began my career, the problems are still the same: ‘Motherhood penalty’ in particular. ☹️

Looking forward to this event tonight in Glasgow. A thorny child rights topic. @jkgillettswan.bsky.social and I have tried to formulate a rights respecting process for addressing the many issues that arise. Interested to hear the perspectives of the different perspectives of the expert panel.

Please don’t expound the benefits of child participation while you develop laws & policies without them. An infographic explaining what you should do when you haven’t involved children on the right. The left is for those wanting to do their best to get it right- Lansdown’s 3Cs plus the Lundy Model.

Help! I can't find much research literature on *children's* views about capacity (to consent, be consulted, exercise #rights etc) There's LOTS on what adults think about it! We're planning research with CYP on this, and would be very grateful for any pointers to papers - please repost!

empoweringchildren.gov.mt/vuci-toolkit/ New toolkit developed by a team of us at University College Cork in partnership with the Maltese Ministry of Social Policy & Children’s Rights, the Children’s Commissioner & (of course) a Child Advisory Group to capture the impacts of child participation.

A one page tool for capturing the impact of child participation on policy.

Embarrassed that I didn’t know about the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. The language is horribly dated it but it remains relevant today. 😢 Prof Lundy is right - if we were to write a declaration or convention today, children & young people would be central, to do otherwise is unthinkable.
