What does this mean?
When adults are making choices about your life, they should think about what is best for you.
Everyone who looks after children, like judges, teachers, parents, carers and social workers, all need to think about what is best for the children they work with.
Sometimes adults make decisions you don’t like but they might be what is best for you.
Example: an adult shouldn’t let you watch over 18’s films as this is not good for you.
