You could try looking at the Childrens Act and the 'Every Child Matters' Policies on the government's website www.direct.gov.uk

Hi - childrens rights are similar to human rights (not suggesting they're not human of course...!) - things such as the right to privacy, the right to a roof over their heads, the right to receive healthy nutrition, the right to have an opinion regarding their life, future etc. - that sort of thing.

oops - also the right to be protected (eg war, porn, etc), the right to be respected, the right to an education.
