A morning well spent with the University of Edinburgh Law School’s Human Rights Clinic who are helping @together-sacr.bsky.social understand how, globally, the law (informal and formal) is used to access justice for babies & very young children. Please do share your examples of practice and policy!

🚨New report on accessing justice for babies! Yes, babies are dependent on adults but this doesn’t mean they lack agency or the ability to communicate about their rights. So what does this mean for designing routes to remedy that suit babies’ needs? Read our report to find out.. #BabyUNCRC

2 days to go ⏰ There are many myths linked to #BabiesRights, & we recognise that we don't have all the answers! With 2 days to #TheRightStart conference, we look forward to exploring what babies rights could look & feel like in #Scotland. Read @childreninscotland.bsky.social blog ➡️ buff.ly/EiESUa1

"Anyone who has spent any time in the company of a newborn baby or infant will know that they are born ready to communicate. Unfortunately, across society we struggle to think of babies as rights holders. Perhaps this is because they can't share their views in the same ways as older children (i.e it's not as easy to ask them what they are thinking or feeling.) or maybe it's because they are so reliant on other people (often parents of carers) to have their rights fulfilled. It's possibly a bit of both. As children's rights come into sharper forcus with the introduction of the UNCRC into Scottish Legislation, it's really time we tackle this issue

A critical overview of where Scotland is at with regards to protecting children’s rights. #SOCRR2024 has contributions from babies, young children and older children, all with different experiences and identities.. and crucially, in their own words. Well done to the team and all who contributed.
