In our January Home Circles we highlighted Article 32 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child which states that children and young people should not be able to work until they reach a certain age.  In Scotland, children are not allowed to do almost any kind of work until they are 13, and rules about the work that children can do remain in place until the age of 18.
