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.

Launching the Tiny Rights Detectives Report: Strengthening Babies’ Rights in Scotland

On Wednesday 5^th of March 2025, we published our first Tiny Rights Detectives report – “Exploring Pathways to Justice for Babies.” We set out to explore how babies experience and communicate their rights - and what prevents these rights from being met. We found that babies clearly express their needs and preferences, yet these signals are often overlooked or misunderstood. Trusted relationships with caregivers play an important role in ensuring babies’ rights are recognised, but everyday barriers - such as transport, unsafe public spaces, and inaccessible complaints processes - continue to limit their access to services and justice.

OUT NOW! State of Children's Rights Report 2024

Our 2024 report is grounded in the stories of 220 babies, children and young people aged nine months to 17 years old.

Through their words, artwork and other forms of expression, they highlight what it feels like when their rights are upheld, the challenges they face and their ideas for a better future.

The report explores their experiences at home, nursery, school, college, local communities, online and in Scotland as a whole.
