🔵ensure children and young people can fully access their rights

[Judith Turbyne @JudithTurbyne]

Great to bring together the Children's Sector Strategic and Policy Forum with @ScotGovFM and @NatalieDon_ to talk about embedding children's rights, policy coherence, the importance of a well resourced third sector and what we can do differently to eradicate child poverty.
