Its main aim was to ensure the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), specifically Article 12.
The group, run by a steering committee, worked to ensure the rights of young people were heard by decision makers.
The administrative duties of Article 12 were run by Children's Rights Alliance for England (CRAE).
One of the group's most high-profile campaigns was "Stop Smacking Us", which challenged the physical punishment of children.
In 1999, Daisy Langmaid and David Joseph Henry took part in 10th commemorative meeting of the UNCRC in Geneva.
