The Scottish Government is firmly committed to promoting children’s rights and has led the way in this area by incorporating UNCRC into law within Scotland. All children in Scotland have rights, there are no conditions attached to them and nobody has the power to give them or take them away from you.
Children and young people have rights under the Human Rights Act 1998, but they also have rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
In East Dunbartonshire we have written a report that explains how organisations in our area are working together to make sure children and young people know about their rights, are listened to, are safe, and get the support they need to grow, learn and take part in their communities.
