Rights in ACTion newsletter
Rights in ACTion is a newsletter for kids about things that matter to you.
This monthly newsletter is full of information about child rights and issues that you might be facing in the ACT and what you can do if you have been treated unfairly. You can let us know what you want to see in the newsletter, or send us something you have created to put in it. We love to include articles, poems, pictures or photographs from ACT children and young people in our newsletters.
