Abstract
•The topic of children's rights is a wide-ranging and complex subject, and in recognition of this fact this paper specifically addresses the concept of the right of children to make decisions about their own health-care.•This paper explores the many factors which may influence a child's right to autonomy, including family relationships and the broader external influences exerted by health-care workers.•The discussion highlights the dilemmas which may be faced by nurses when their values and beliefs, or hierarchical position within the health-care structure, inhibit their ability to promote children's autonomy.
