Established in 1996, Children’s Parliament is dedicated to the realisation of children’s human rights in Scotland. Their dream is that children grow up in a world of love, happiness and understanding. Their mission is to inspire greater awareness and understanding of the power of children’s human rights and to support implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
Through their rights-based practice, they provide children up to 14 years of age with opportunities to share their views, experiences, and ideas so that they can influence positive change in their lives at home, in school and in the community. They use creative, participatory and play-based methods to support children to meaningfully engage in decisions that affect them.
With over 25 years of experience and their growing, dynamic and passionate team, they demonstrate children’s rights in action, they support children to influence policy, practice and legislation, and they build the capacity and win the hearts and minds of adults to realise children’s rights.
