The Scottish Government and Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People have published a guide for children and young people about their rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). This new publication is available for download from the Scottish Government website.

The Rights Respecting Schools Award promoted by UNICEF is gaining popularity among Scottish schools, with schools such as Elie Primary School in Fife among the most recent to gain the Advanced level award. RRSA is one means to embed the values of the UNCRC in school life, and contributes to the development of global citizenship among our young people.
