The Children's Rights Alliance for England (CRAE) and Just for Kids Law merge.

The Children's Rights Alliance for England (CRAE) merged into Just for Kids Law at the beginning of August. Both charities share the same ambition to achieve the full realisation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) which the UK ratified in 1991. Both charities are keeping their brands and identities. Just for Kids Law provides direct advocacy support and legal representation to children and undertakes precedent setting strategic litigation for children's rights (including successful interventions securing the rights of 17 year-olds in police custody). CRAE's membership includes over 150 organisations and individual members making it one of the biggest children's rights coalitions in the world.
