A morning well spent with the University of Edinburgh Law School’s Human Rights Clinic who are helping @together-sacr.bsky.social understand how, globally, the law (informal and formal) is used to access justice for babies & very young children. Please do share your examples of practice and policy!

We were delighted to be invited to speak with Volker Türk, UN Commissioner for Human Rights, about the incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into law in Scotland at a joint meeting hosted by @amnestyuk.bsky.social

🚨New report on accessing justice for babies! Yes, babies are dependent on adults but this doesn’t mean they lack agency or the ability to communicate about their rights. So what does this mean for designing routes to remedy that suit babies’ needs? Read our report to find out.. #BabyUNCRC

2 days to go ⏰ There are many myths linked to #BabiesRights, & we recognise that we don't have all the answers!
