Children’s Human Rights in Scotland
Observatory of Children’s Human Rights Scotland
We are a founding member of the Observatory of Children’s Human Rights Scotland, a collaborative of Scottish organisations working to drive implementation of children’s human rights in Scotland, with local impact and global learning. We work with the Observatory on a number of projects, including:
-
The Observatory works with the Scottish Government, local authorities, health boards and other public bodies to analyse and improve the quality of public bodies’ reporting on children’s rights. Read more here.
-
The Observatory hosts a Scotland-wide research network that brings together research expertise with the lived experiences of children and young people and Scottish policy-makers, practitioners and civil society. Learn more here!
-
The Observatory, Matter of Focus and Public Health Scotland worked together on a collaborative effort to develop a Theory of Change for the process of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) implementation in Scotland.

We worked with the Observatory to conduct a thorough analysis of how emergency laws and procedures around COVID-19 impacted the human rights of children and young people in Scotland.
This was done in the form of an Independent Children’s Rights Impact Assessment (CRIA).
