Children’s Rights Skills and Knowledge Framework

Eurochild member Together released a new resource to help Scotland’s public authorities access training and support on children’s rights and a human rights approach.

Public authority workforces play a vital role in delivering services across a wide range of sectors for children, young people and their communities. The Framework will support them to increase their understanding of children’s rights, take a children’s human rights approach to planning and service delivery, and enhance their confidence to implement the UNCRC in their everyday work.

Commissioned by the Scottish Government, the Framework and Training Plan were developed in partnership by Together, JRS Knowhow, JustRight Scotland, Children's Parliament and The Observatory on Human Rights of Children in Wales.

The framework has been designed to:

  • Support individuals and organisations to adopt a children’s human rights approach.
  • Improve and consolidate the workforce’s understanding of children’s rights and increase their confidence to implement the UNCRC in their everyday work.
  • Set out the skills and knowledge the workforce will need to grow their children’s rights practice, and improve over time.
  • Highlight useful resources for workers to engage with to further develop their skills and knowledge.
  • Enable the necessary culture change to fully respect, protect and fulfil rights for children and young people in Scotland.
  • Implementing a children’s human rights approach will build on existing best practice and support the realisation of other crucial policy objectives.
