Children and Young People’s Health Rights – eLearning

New resource from Children's Health Scotland to promote greater understanding of health rights and needs of children and young people.

Children’s Health Scotland (formerly Action for Sick Children Scotland) has developed a digital eLearning resource – ‘Children and Young People’s Health Rights’ to:

• • Promote greater understanding of the health rights and needs of children and young people (CYP) and families
  • Raise practitioners’ awareness of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 (the Act) in relation to children and young people’s health and wellbeing.
  • Assist practitioners pursue a rights-based approach in line with UNCRC principles.

The resource is aimed at all health and social care practitioners who come into contact with children and young people when providing healthcare services (whether in hospital, in the community or at home). This includes independent practitioners and third sector providers.

The course should take you approximately 40 mins to complete.
