State of Children's Rights Report 2026

We are delighted to share with you our new State of Children’s Rights Report 2026. This year’s report is dedicated to exploring how organisations across Scotland are taking forward a children’s human rights approach in their work, in the hope of sharing learning and ideas. Structured around the five principles of a children’s human rights approach – embedding, equality and non-discrimination, empowerment, participation and accountability – the report is a practical resource to help Scotland’s workforce ensure they respect, protect and fulfil children’s rights.

Children's Rights Skills and Knowledge Framework

We're delighted that the Children's Rights Skills and Knowledge Framework is now available.

The Framework provides access to resources and training on children’s rights and on taking a children’s human rights approach.

The resources can be used across a wide range of sectors, giving users an enhanced understanding of how they can respect, protect and fulfil children’s rights.
