Read Scottish Government’s initial response to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child’s Concluding Observations for the UK. #UNCRC Stating their absolute commitment to ensuring that #children and young people across Scotland can fully experience their rights. ADR UK

Great to see the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child recognise the good practice of ScotGov Education - who published a response to children on how Scotland plans to take forward the UN's 'to do list' for children's rights.

I was delighted to make it along to the event last night in the Scottish Parliament. The event brought home to me that it’s been for me almost a decade of campaigning for children’s rights. From speaking at the UN, to advocating rights at COP26/27 & crucially on Human Rights Day.

Last night's Together 🧡 Parliamentary reception was a delightful chance to spend more time with all the children and young people who inform and inspire our work to make their human rights a reality 🤗 💪
