United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 2024-2026
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) sets out all the rights that all children everywhere are entitled to. Almost every country in the world has signed the UNCRC.
In Scotland, local authorities and other public authorities have a duty to publish a Children's Rights Report every 3 years. This report must say what steps the local authority has taken to deliver the requirements of the UNCRC.
Dumfries and Galloway Council along with NHS Dumfries and Galloway have developed a joint action plan for the 2024-2026 period. This action plan follows on from the previous report by the partnership for the 2020-2023 period
The 2020-2023 report sets out the progress made by the Council and Health Board on delivering all the rights that are set out in the UNCRC. The action plan outlines what improvements are planned for the next 3 years and who will lead their development.
