Launch of the Rights Detectives latest Mission Update Report #003

Today we are excited to launch the latest Rights Detectives Mission Update Report #003! Our Rights Detectives have been extremely busy investigating and completing missions and this is the third report to Scottish Government to help shape Scotland's new Human Rights Bill.

The third report in the series explores how the Detectives helped to shape child-friendly resources to support children and young people to respond to the Scottish Government consultation on the new Human Rights Bill.  It also brings together the findings from the Detectives final investigations, which involved 80 children and young people aged 10-17 years-old from St John Ogilvie High School Hamilton and from the Girl Guides in Edinburgh.

Read their latest full and child-friendly reports and find out more about the Detectives and their work here.

NEW child-friendly resource on the UN Concluding Observations!

Together has just launched this child-friendly resource explaining the recent UN Concluding Observations made by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child for the UK and Scottish Government.

In partnership with Children’s Parliament, Scottish Youth Parliament and Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland, Together consulted with #TeamScotlandUN in the creation of this child-friendly resource to support children and young people to understand these important recommendations to better protect, respect and implement children’s rights, and to support their ability to hold Scottish Government and other duty bearers to account.

Our 2023 report is an update for the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child about the state of children's rights in Scotland. It draws on evidence from children, young people and our members to highlight areas of progress and where there are concerns. 

The report will help the UN Committee as it gets ready to review the UK and Scottish Government's children's rights records in May 2023.
