CRIN: Ask the experts

Do you have a child rights question, but can't find the answer? Or do you think you may hold the answer people are looking for?

Ask the Experts brings people with questions together with people with answers. Anyone can be an 'expert' – as long as you can answer the question to the satisfaction of the person asking.

50 points are awarded for an accepted answer, and there is a leader board for experts who give the most, and the best, answers.

How does it work?
