🎬💬 On #BeHappy Thursday, we launch #WaitingOnOurRights — a powerful stop motion animation by our Health Rights Defenders. Children can't #BeHappy when they're waiting too long for the care they need. Their voices matter. Their rights matter.

[Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland @CYPCS]

Children have the right to the best possible physical and mental health. That means timely support & resources. This report highlights issues children often raise with us, & it’s vital their voices are heard & acted on. Access to healthcare needs to be equitable for all children.

[Children's Health Scotland @ChildHealthScot]

📢 Just Published: Our Health Rights Defenders helped shape a major new report from @RCPCHScotland calling for urgent action to improve community paediatrics in Scotland. Their voices are at the heart of “Collaborative Healthcare in Scotland”—highlighting the need for better data, fairer access, and stronger support for children and families. We’re proud to stand with them in championing every child’s right to health.🔗https://t.co/pdcPZb96CW
