Our work includes running the national child helpline, helping children through the more than 60.000 annual conversations and ensuring that policy makers in Denmark as well as in the EU ensures that legislation always protects and supports the rights of the child. We also provide workshops for children, teachers and parents as well as have a helpline for parents and teachers. We are the largest knowledge centre for children’s voices, rights and wellbeing in Denmark. We accomplish this by using the children’s concerns and stories to generate data as well as conduct in-depth research, which includes large quantitative questionnaires with large samples of school children as well as qualitative research.
