'independent advocacy increases children and young people’s understanding of their rights'

We see too many children with no access to independent advocacy @ScotChildLaw and therefore no way of realising their rights

[Child Law Centre @ScotChildLaw]

Thank you @siaa_voice for sharing our report on access to justice for children and young people following rights breaches

We both call for increased access to independent advocacy for children and young people
