INFORMATION FOR PARENTS & CARERS
A new law about children’s welfare has been implemented in Scotland.
Please read the following article for more information
UNCRC
Article 1 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child – or UNCRC – says that all people under 18 have the rights it talks about, no matter who they are.
In Scotland the UNCRC applies to:
- everyone under 18
- everyone under 21 who has been looked after or in care
A child or young person doesn’t need to be a Scottish citizen to fall under the Commissioner’s protection— they just need to live in Scotland.
