A historic day for children in Scotland as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) law is enforced in Scotland😀.
Like all legislation it brings some challenges, read my Blog: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly! 👇 https://t.co/o4qamEOdDv #UNCRC #MyRightsToo

This is an old one, however some of us need a little bit of reminding every now and then.

It would be interesting to understand the evidence basis of Aberdeenshire's decision to cut all funding for children's speech and language therapy, including the children's rights & wellbeing impact assessment. Sadly the impact on individuals may not be evident until too late.

Here’s a statement from Glenn Carter regarding the cuts to speech and language therapy in Aberdeenshire. @RCSLT

We are delighted to be working with Nicola Killean from @CYPCS and her team, to listen to what is important to our children and their families. Nicola, Elaine and Megan spent time with the children, seeing how we champion communication and empower children's voices.
