Children and Young People

This new area of the Sheffield Information Link website is designed to inform and entertain children and young people.

You will be able to find information and key links to organisations that can help and support you with things that are important to you.

Our children's rights page explains the rights of a child as defined by the UN convention on rights of the child.

We also hope to have regular online competitions with prizes that will be of interest to you.

Sheffield Information Link is working in partnership with other key organisations across the city to ensure that children and young people have a voice in the way that your services are developed. If you have anything that you would like to comment on please fill in and return our online contact form.

Here are links to some websites that are fun or can help with issues that we know concern children and young people.
