The Children's Convention is written out in Schedule 2 for you to read and refer to. You can find it by following the link to Schedule 2. This is just for your information.

The Children's Convention is a separate document, and including it in this Act does not change its legal status. This means that the Convention's legal status stays the same, even though it is included in this Act. You can still use it as a reference.
