Urgent action is needed to turn the tide on #ChildPoverty. Abolishing the 2 child limit would immediately lift 300k children across the UK out of poverty. This would be a good start. We urge @Keir_Starmer to do the right thing. 👓 👇 https://t.co/Now9KPVVqJ

Continuing our #UNCRCScotland celebrations, children ask adults: "Do they actually listen to our rights? Because they say they do, but I don't think they do." Listen to what they have to say and give them an answer if you can 😉⬇️⬇️⬇️ #KenYerRights #childrensrights #Scotland

The tragic death of a child in Polmont has been reported. Our thoughts go to their family and everyone who knew, and cared for them. Prison is no place for a child. @ScotParl passed a law committing to no child going to prison. This reinforces the urgency of implementing it.

Poverty is the biggest human rights issue for children in 🏴, impacting rights to life, education, play, health, & development. Deeply disappointed @GOVUK won't end discriminatory 2-child benefit cap, trapping thousands of children in poverty. Statement: https://t.co/0tOyoQ4eou

Prison is no place for children. Earlier this year, after years of campaigning @ScotParl passed a law to prevent this. It should have been commenced immediately. @Scotgov was repeatedly warned that continuing this practice breached children's rights and risked their lives.
A 17-year-old has killed himself in Polmont 3 months after legislation designed to make sure no children were sent there again received Royal Assent. My story in @heraldscotland. It's 6 years since William Lindsay's suicide there & it's still happening.

After celebrating #UNCRCScotland, it's important not to lose sight of what more needs to be done. The right to a healthy environment helps tackle climate change, end child poverty and improve public services so @together_sacr fully supports this important letter from @ERCScot
🟢 Over 60 civil society groups have written an open letter urging @ScotGovFM to 'show leadership' by enshrining a legal right to a healthy environment in Scotland. Read more: https://t.co/AXgZgIParf
