📜 Finally, here's what Scotland's Children and Young People's Commissioner @CYPCS @Bruce_Adamson had to say, this World Children's Day: https://t.co/8EKSKCkcba
On this day in 1989, @UN adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 33 yrs later, Scotland is yet to incorporate #UNCRC into law - the most important thing we can do to protect children’s rights. On #WorldChildrensDay, we renew calls on @scotgov to make child rights real.
