The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) applies to everyone under the age of 18. Its aim is to recognise the rights of children and ensure that they grow up in the spirit of peace, dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality and solidarity.
The UNCRC was drafted in 1989 and is the most widely and rapidly ratified human rights treaty in history. 196 countries have ratified it, including us here in Scotland.
CALA is committed to ensuring that Children’s Rights are central to all our work for and with children and young people.
