SSSC's response to Rights of Children and Young People Bill consultation
The Rights of Children and Young People Bill will establish in law the responsibilities of the Scottish Ministers to have due regard to the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) when exercising any of their functions. The UNCRC spells out the basic human rights of children up to the age of 18 everywhere. The Scottish Government's approach to children's rights is already firmly based on the UNCRC. The Bill will ensure that all Scottish Government policy and legislation takes account of the rights of children and young people and can be framed in such a way as to promote and secure those rights.
