I'm still buzzing after today's launch of #RightsEmpowered - our @together-sacr.bsky.social @clanchildlaw.org project to use the law to further children's human rights. After a decade of campaigning for #UNCRCScotland, children can now use the law to push for change and secure access to justice

What does #RightsEmpowered mean to you? Katy @clanchildlaw.org explains what Strategic Litigation is and highlights how this method of challenging decision making can address systemic children’s rights breaches across Scotland www.togetherscotland.org.uk/about-us/our...

What does #RightsEmpowered mean to you? Carly, Together, shares case study from membership to show challenges children & members face accessing justice & the project will use community action to provide “legal empowerment” of Scotland’s children’s sector buff.ly/yQckatb

Delighted to be at today's @familiesoutside.bsky.social conference with so many people keen to explore how the #UNCRCScotland Act can make a real difference for children affected by imprisonment #DontForgetAboutMe #RightsOnTrack

Many areas of children’s lives in Scotland – like immigration and social security – are decided at UK level, where UNCRC rights aren’t as strongly protected. That’s why we’re backing calls for a duty on UK Ministers and mandatory CRIAs in the Children’s Wellbeing & Schools Bill. #UNCRCScotland
