Abstract

The Digital Futures Commission is working to put children’s interests at the centre of the design of the digital world. That’s our mission. But what are children’s interests? We draw on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which requires that “in all actions concerning children… the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration” (article 3, para.1). This is easier to say than to deliver, however. Sonia Livingstone talked to international children’s rights consultant Gerison Lansdown to unpack the idea of children’s “best interests,” including in relation to the digital environment.
