The incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Scots law was a watershed moment for children’s rights in Scotland. This placed Scotland at the forefront of children’s rights in the United Kingdom.
Watch our speakers discuss the UNCRC and examine the impact the act will likely to have on the treatment of children in family law and criminal law matters in Scotland. We also hear from experts on child-centred practice skills, so that you can consider how to take a rights-centric approach to your work.
Learning outcomes:
- Broaden your understanding of the UNCRC and the ways in which it strengthened children’s rights in Scotland
- Examine the impact that other pieces of legislation (such as the Childre (Care and Justice) Scotland Act 2024) have had on the protection of children’s rights
- Discuss practical challenges in working on sensitive cases involving children
- Develop your child-friendly practice skills
