UK Commissioners call for equal protection for all UK children. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 was first to ban physical punishment; as did Wales. Children in England & N Ireland are still not protected. All children deserve the same protection from violence as adults. Statement: bit.ly/4jAwgXh

Today is the first anniversary of UNCRC incorporation into Scots law. Having children’s rights in law is a huge milestone but it’s just one step. We’ll keep holding people in power to account so every child in Scotland can have their rights respected, protected, and fulfilled.

Celebrated the UNCRC’s 1st anniversary in Scots law alongside amazing young carers at #ScottishYoungCarersFestival. However their stories & struggles remind us there’s more work to do to ensure their rights are respected, protected & fulfilled. More: bit.ly/4eYF6wu
