Together Webinar Series

Join Together for three free special webinar series, designed to support those working with and for children to embed children’s rights in their practice – “From law to reality: implementing the UNCRC Act in practice”, “Getting children’s rights right: Proactively implementing children’s rights from the outset” and “Responding to children’s rights issues: what happens when something goes wrong”.

Using learning from our 2026 State of Children’s Rights Report, evidence from our membership and international reflections to grapple with how children’s rights can be implemented by drawing on the five principles of a Children’s Human Rights Approach: embedding, equality and non-discrimination, empowerment, participation and accountability.

State of Children's Rights Report 2026

We are delighted to share with you our new State of Children’s Rights Report 2026.

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.
