In Scotland,  the rights of children are enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights  of the Child (UNCRC) and are now legally incorporated into Scots law. This means that all areas of public life must be reviewed to ensure they respect, protect, and fulfil children’s rights, as stated in the UNCRC. A key principle is ensuring that children’s views are heard and taken seriously, and that their best interests are prioritised in all matters affecting them. 

At Drummore, we are beginning our Rights Respecting School journey. We will be sharing our progress with you as we work towards achieving Bronze accreditation.
