Children's Parliament is not about advocating on children's behalf, we
believe children can advocate effectively for themselves if the right
environment is created and support is in place.
This is an initiative rich in learning for adults if they listen carefully.
Our work is based on children having fun and engaging in projects and
investigations in and across our themes which reflect the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Do the Right Thing is a progress report on our
response to the 2008 concluding observations
from the UN Committee on the Rights of the
Child.
The report sets out the progress we have made
since the publication of our original children's
rights action plan "Do the Right Thing" in 2009.

As well as setting out progress to date, the report
also describes the range of additional activity
that Scottish Ministers are committed to
delivering over the life of this parliament in order
to progress the rights agenda.

Together is an alliance of Scottish children's
charities that works to improve the
awareness,
understanding
and
implementation of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child
(UNCRC).
We do this by:
• promoting the UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child;
• helping children's organisations to
integrate the UNCRC into their work;
• monitoring and reporting on the progress
made at a Scottish and UK level.
This report provides a non-government
perspective on the extent to which children
in Scotland are able to enjoy their rights
enshrined in the United Nations Convention
on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
The report was compiled and produced by
Together following wide consultation with
children's organisations across Scotland. The
consultation involved gathering views and
opinions from over 100 professionals
working with and for children through
seminars held in Dundee, Dumfries and

This paper describes in detail the linkages
between the Articles of UNCRC and the key
elements of the Scottish Government’s
Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC)
approach.
Fundamentally, the approach promotes
practitioners:
• to consider each child as an individual with
their own needs, risks and rights
• to engage and involve the child as far as
practical in discussions and decisions
which affect his or her future
• to seek out and consider the voice of the
child
• to plan and review activity to improve http://bit.ly/uncrc-girfec
outcomes, based on well-being.

Their purpose is to remind
adults of what participation
means from the point of view
of children and young people,
and to encourage children and
young people to think about
what they need from adults to
support them to participate.
