Children’s Voices Centre launched

Charles Sturt has established the Children’s Voices Centre (CVC), a pioneering research hub dedicated to amplifying children’s voices and creating a more inclusive world. Guided by the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Centre focuses on two primary research themes: children, families, and communities, and workforce and policy.

CVC researchers collaborate with a broad range of stakeholders, including children, families, professionals, and communities, to conduct transformative interdisciplinary research with global impact. The centre addresses key issues such as children’s health, children’s activities, multilingual children’s speech, early childhood education and workforce needs, and children with speech, language, and communication needs.

By bringing together experts from fields like education, health, psychology, social work and the media, the CVC champions children’s communication, learning, health, and development, aiming to empower all children to contribute to a better future.
