Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People (NICCY) - Belfast

We offer support, advice or assistance as appropriate to parents, carers, children and young people in relation to childrens rights and complaints. If we cannot help we will signpost to someone who can.

We take complaints and enquiries into breaches of childrens rights. In particular we deal with complaints against relevant authorities, which basically means public bodies. We also take or intervene in legal cases concerning childrens rights.

Children their parents or carers normally contact us, but we also take initial enquiries from all interested parties.
