The Global Child Forum was initiated by the Royal Family in 2009, and is an independent platform that brings together world-leading players for in-depth dialogue and to raise awareness of children's rights.

During the meeting, representatives from the Global Child Forum spoke about the organisation's current position and the impact it aims to have on industry.

The Partner Day also focused on the Global Child Forum's forthcoming products, services and initiatives.

The Partner Day concluded with The Queen giving a speech.

By sharing knowledge and best practices, and by developing digital tools and services, the Global Child Forum can both support and drive forward businesses' work to meet and promote children's rights.

"Good initiatives are all very well, but lasting change requires leaders. Wise, far-sighted and responsible leaders. And that is exactly what I have seen and heard during our meeting today.

HM The Queen
