The principle that children and young people are capable of forming their own views, have the right to express those views, and are entitled to have those views taken seriously was introduced by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1989. The implications for the delivery of healthcare are clear; however, children and young people continue to experience difficulty in having their views heard and taken seriously during healthcare encounters and the effectiveness of the UNCRC, in particular Article 12 appears to be limited. This article will discuss how, 30 years on, significant barriers continue to impede the full implementation of Article 12. In recognition of the limited awareness of its scope or even existence by health professionals working with children, a framework that can facilitate a better understanding of the concept of voice, and articulate healthcare organisations' full responsibilities when it comes to Article 12, is presented.
儿童和青少年有能力形成自己的观点、有权表达这些观点、并且有权让这些观点得到认真对待，这一原则是联合国儿童权利公约（UNCRC）于 1989 年引入的。这对医疗保健的提供有明显的影响；然而，儿童和青少年在医疗保健接触中仍然难以让他们的观点被听到并得到认真对待，联合国儿童权利公约，特别是第 12 条的效力似乎受到限制。本文将讨论 30 年后，仍然存在哪些重大障碍阻碍了第 12 条的全面实施。认识到从事儿童工作的卫生专业人员对其范围甚至存在的认识有限，本文提出了一个框架，可以帮助更好地理解声音的概念，并阐明医疗保健组织在第 12 条方面的全部责任。
