In 2007 C R L International organized and coordinated a project for Save the Children in Sri Lanka by consulting with a unique group of “experts”—children themselves. Children from five provinces were asked for their views about forming a Child Rights Network in the country. It was explained that the network would be managed by children living in different parts of the country and that they could drive this vehicle – the network - to any institution to make presentations about the problems faced by children, thereby engaging State institutions to address such issues.

Caritas Sri Lanka and its Partner CAFOD invited C R L International to develop the Child Protection Policy for Caritas Sri Lanka. C R L International decided to develop this policy with the active participation of the full-time staff of Caritas Sri Lanka and children who have directly benefited from the work of Caritas in different parts of the country. The goal was to create a living document which could adapt to changing conditions.
