The United Nations Convention on the Rights
of the Child provides the principles and values
to which we all should aspire. In 2009 we
published ‘Do the Right Thing’ – our response
to the 2008 concluding observations of the
UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.
This was a clear commitment by the Scottish
Government to account for actions to further
promote children’s rights. This document
reports on the significant progress we have
made since then and we will continue to
demonstrate the importance we place on
rights through future similar reports.
