A new website was developed in 2008 combining great looks, extensive content and high levels of interactivity with a bespoke game educating young people on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, a backchat questionnaire and even a Bebo widget.

The aims were:

• To produce an interactive website that is attractive and accessible to target audiences

• To provide a more informative, resource rich website

• To encourage children and young people to share their views and opinions with the organisation in a safe manner via Backchat, to inform the Commissioner's work

• To raise awareness of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

The website had to meet the diverse needs of children, young people, professionals and other adults.

Children and young people from across Wales would be the website's primary audience. A series of workshops were held with over two hundred young people in south and north Wales to ensure the design and feel of the site was correct.

Content needed to be easily accessible, fully bilingual (English and Welsh) and presented in an interactive way. Content includes:

• Education about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child via a fully bilingual, interactive game (complete with audio instructions in English and Welsh) – 'Know Your Rights'.

• Backchat questions (which could be downloaded as a Bebo widget so that new questions would be delivered to the recipient's personal web space) to collect the views and opinions of children and young people on various subjects

• Easy to find information about our school ambassadors scheme

• Promoting the work of the Commissioner through the 'About Us' section

• Enabling the Commissioner's school ambassadors to upload content securely (posters, poems, photos) to share with their counterparts across the country

I thought the game was very fun and a great way to help children learn about our own rights. It also helped me to see how well I already knew my own rights - as I got them all right first time round :)
