Children and young people's rights

Everyone in Scotland has human rights, but children and young people have their own set of special rights too.

These are a set of promises that make sure they're treated fairly and looked after properly.

Children's rights are listed in a document called the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This is part of the law in Scotland.

Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland

Scotland has a Children and Young People's Commissioner. It's their job to make sure children's rights are protected.

Visit the Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland website for a list of these rights.
