Closing date: 16th May 2024

This consultation seeks views on draft guidance that Scottish Government has produced to accompany the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill.

It relates to two parts of the Act:

  • Part 2 - duty on public authorities to act compatibly with the UNCRC requirements
  • Part 3, Section 18 – reporting duties on listed authorities

The guidance has been developed with support from the Guidance Subgroup, comprising members of the Embedding in Public Services group.

Together will publish a draft of our response in advance of the deadline to support members also wishing to participate.
