<p>This article considers three areas in which the Mental Health Act 2007 has introduced some positive change in relation to children and young people: admission to hospital, age appropriate facilities and advocacy. It also highlights issues of continuing concern. It does so in the light of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (‘the Convention’), which was ratified by the UK government in 1991 and applies to all those aged under 18.</p>
