Together was part of an exciting project commissioned by the Scottish Government to work jointly with our amazing partners JustRight Scotland, JRS KnowHow, Children’s Parliament and the Observatory on Human Rights of Children in Wales to explore in depth the skills and knowledge required to fully implement children’s rights in Scotland.
Together brought together a Professional Panel, made up of people from a variety of backgrounds, lived experiences, and areas of Scotland. The panel members played a crucial role in shaping the Framework through a truly collaborative process. It was exciting to hear the experiences of professionals from across the Scottish workforce, about the opportunities and challenges they see for the implementation of the UNCRC, and learn what is needed to help them and their colleagues to fully realise children’s rights.
The Professional Panel worked alongside a Children and Families Panel supported by Children’s Parliament, to gain from their knowledge and lived experiences.
We also held events for wider stakeholders from sectors across Scotland, to provide them with updates on the project, hear their thoughts on public services current children’s rights practice, what improvement is needed, to discuss the values, skills and knowledge needed for a children’s rights approach, and gain feedback on existing children’s rights resources.
The Children's Rights Skills and Knowledge Framework, Training Plan and Learning Library should be released in the summer of 2024.
Our Project Officer Mary Campbell outlines how crucial the Panel’s work will be for the Scottish workforce.
