Your Rights
Rights are statements about what a person should have (or have access to) or how they should be treated. All children and a youth have the RIGHT to know what their rights are and have them explained in a way that they can understand.
One of the main things FBCYICN does is advocate for youth in care to make sure they know about their rights and are having their rights respected.
