Children's Rights and the incorporation of the UNCRC

• Recognising the background to UNCRC
• Understanding the key principles and articles
• Exploring the Scottish context
• Identifying best practice in the workplace

This training is for anyone working in the children’s sector and those wanting to support the rights of children and young people.
On the 16 July 2024, the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 came into effect after the culmination of years of determination and hard work demonstrated by children, young people and their supporters.

This training session will cover the social and legal background to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and its incorporation into Scots law. Learn about children’s rights, key articles of the UNCRC and how the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 supports best practice in the workplace. There will be the opportunity for reflection on your own practice and to plan your next steps.

This session will be delivered by members of the Policy, Projects and Participation Team at Children in Scotland.

This training will be priced at £40 for Members and £55 for non-members.
