Research on children’s rights

The Ombudsman for Children’s Office carries out and commissions research on important issues affecting children.

This research can involve:

  • Looking at reports and other evidence about the issues affecting children in Ireland.
  • Finding examples of how the rights of children are protected in other countries.
  • Listening to the views and experiences of children.
  • Listening to the views and experiences of parents/carers and professionals working with children.

This research helps us to understand whether children’s rights are being protected and we use the findings and the experiences shared by children, families and professionals in our work. It also encourages the Government and public bodies to work in a way that promotes the rights and welfare of children.

You can find all of our research publications in our online library.
