The CRC obliges governments to ensure that children and adults are aware of the rights of children enshrined in the convention and that children are provided with opportunities to express their views about matters affecting them. The Government has sponsored awareness-raising initiatives, such as the Child Ambassadors Scheme and the Children's Council. In 2005, the Government further established the Children's Rights Forum to provide a direct channel of communication for exchange of views with children and children's rights advocates. The Government also launched the Children's Rights Education Funding Scheme this year in support of initiatives by non-governmental organisations for promotion of public education on children's rights.
