Today we made some new friends from overseas, here to learn more about #UNCRC in Scotland 👋 It was an absolute pleasure to host representatives from Allies for Children, UNICEF, Project Unity, First Focus on Children, and Youth Infusion, among others. Some excellent discussion and connections.

This week, Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) welcomed guests to the Scottish Parliament for a parliamentary reception. Hearing from a CHAS parent was one of the most powerful moments of the evening, as they shared their family's experience of palliative care.

As we begin to digest today’s announced #ProgrammeforGovernment, it is timely to restate our calls in three priority areas of our Manifesto. We will be taking the time to understand how these areas are being progressed by the Scottish Government and will feed back to our members and network soon.

Graphic titled “Whole Family Support” with a red gradient background and a faint image of the Scottish Parliament chamber. Text highlights the importance of holistic care, early intervention, community-based support, and sustainable funding for effective whole-family support.

Graphic titled “Public Service Reform” with a blue gradient background and a faint image of the Scottish Parliament chamber. Text states that Scotland has strong children's rights legislation, including GIRFEC, The Promise and UNCRC incorporation, and calls for renewed public service reform and fair funding to address implementation gaps.

Graphic titled “Additional Support for Learning” with a teal gradient background and a faint image of the Scottish Parliament chamber. Text calls for increased investment in specialist provision for children with additional support needs, renewal of the ASL Action Plan, and improvements to placement decisions, attendance, behaviour and relationships.
