Read the flash report on our event: 'UNCRC Incorporation in Scotland - policy updates, practical application and awareness raising.'
What does the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) mean for people on a day-to-day basis? What are good examples of implementing the principles of the UNCRC in practice? These are some of the questions we explored in this members event, held online on 7th April 2022. This event was the first in the series “Making Children’s Rights Real: UNCRC, GIRFEC and The Promise,” developed in partnership with Children’s Parliament (this link will take you away from our website), the ALLIANCE, Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector (GCVS) (this link will take you away from our website), Together (Scottish Alliance for Children’s Rights) (this link will take you away from our website), Children in Scotland (Supporting the Third Sector Project) (these links will take you away from our website) and the Scottish Child Law Centre (this link will take you away from our website).
The session was chaired by Lucy Mulvagh (the ALLIANCE, Scottish Human Rights Commission). The event included presentations by representatives from Together and Children in Scotland, providing an overview of UNCRC policy developments in Scotland, and key lessons on using the UNCRC principles in practice. Participants then had the opportunity to delve into more in-depth discussions in breakout rooms. The event provided an initial response to an appetite in the third sector and beyond to learn about the principles of the UNCRC and how to best apply them. The flash report with key points and links to resources can be found in the link below. The next event in the series will take place on the 21st of June 2022 and will be hosted by GCVS; you can register via Eventbrite (this link will take you away from our website).
