children cannot be emancipated in England.
However if you look at the rights and benefits typically given to emancipated children in places like America (these rights differ depending on where in the world you look) you will notice that children in England can already do all of them long before the legal minimum age of emancipation in America, theirfore there is no need for it in this country.
a few common examples
the right to sue and be sued.-chilren can bring legal action in their own capacity in the UK as long as they understand what they are doing, this is frequently found in devorce proceedings between pearents.
no longer have to obay your pearents-In England there is no law saying that children have to obay their pearents until a certain age at all
choose your own medical treatment-again in England children have this right similar to a right to sue or be sued, the only requirement is sufficent understanding.
The right to enter a contract-although a child's right to enter a contract is limited in England it is not compleatly illegal, but basically a child can enter into a contract which is nessesary for a person with his lifestyle and quality of life.
