| Description
|
As part of its
10th Anniversary celebrations, the Centre for Research on Relationships
and Families (CRFR) came together with the Scottish Human
Rights Commission (SHRC) and Together (The Scottish Alliance
for Children’s Rights) to organise this timely seminar.
The Scottish Government’s launch of its policy and legislative
programme provides new potential for embedding children’s
rights – and there is much
to learn and discuss from the human rights’ experience.
The seminar aimed:
• To explore the potential
of human rights, conceptually and legally,
to children’s
rights and the children’s rights movement
•
To examine, in particular, the practical potential of human
rights
to enforce and promote such rights for children
• To utilise the above in considering current policy activity
in Scotland
The seminar benefitted from the expert inputs from Professor
Alan Miller (Chair, SHRC), Jonathan Mitchell QC, Dr Susan Elsley
(Policy & Research Counsultant and Senior Research Fellow
CRFR). |
