This document contains the Government's response to the Joint Committee's report (HLP 117/HCP 81, session 2002-03; ISBN 0104423528), which examined the comments of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child regarding the UK's second periodic report under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The Joint Committee also examines the Government's Green Paper "Every child matters" (Cm 5860, ISBN 0101586027), published in September 2003, in response to the Laming report into the death of Victoria Climbieâ. The Committee's findings include support for the commitment to establish a Children's Commissioner for England, as well as highlighting some omissions with regards to the Government's obligations under the Convention. In particular, it highlights the use of the Convention as a policy framework, the treatment of children in the criminal justice system, and the continuance of the defence of 'reasonable chastisement'.
