Japanese television paid a visit to The National Youth Agency (NYA) recently to film material about Hear by Right and interview its author Harry Wade.
It will feature in a series of programmes that NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster, will be showing later in the autumn. The aim of the series is to support and encourage children's healthy development and promote a better environment for them.
During a planned two-hour discussion programme interesting examples of children's policy and services in France, Holland and the UK will be aired - which is where the Hear by Right story comes in.
NHK researcher Ikuko White said: "Japan is behind in recognising and promoting children's and young people's rights and we think including The NYA and Hear by Right in the programme will make a good and inspiring example to Japanese viewers."
