About Us
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:
- developing a 10 year over-arching strategy for children and young people in Northern Ireland by Spring 2005;
- overseeing the implementation and subsequent evaluation of the strategy;
- sponsoring and monitoring the Office of the Commissioner for Children and Young People for Northern Ireland.
