and Young People's Unit
Do you know that children and young people make up almost a third of the population in Northern Ireland?
The Children and Young People’s Unit (CYPU) is a branch within the Good Relations and Reconciliation Division. The branch was established to ensure that the rights and needs of children and young people living in Northern Ireland are given a high priority.
Our main responsibilities include:
- overseeing the implementation and subsequent evaluation of the ten year strategy;
- sponsoring and monitoring the Commissioner for Children and Young People for Northern Ireland.
Browse our website for more information on the legislation that affects children and young people.
