What is UNCRC Incorporation?

“Incorporating” just means “making a part of”― putting an international law into Scots law.

Incorporating the #UNCRC means children’s rights will be at the heart of decisions made right here in Scotland.

Why does #UNCRCIncorporation matter?

Incorporation means @scotgov can be taken to court in Scotland if it doesn’t respect your rights.

When the #UNCRC is part of Scots law, more can be done to make sure the promises Scotland’s made under it are kept.

In countries that have incorporated the UNCRC already, we haven’t seen a big number of court cases – but it does lead to better decision making.

What difference will #UNCRCIncorporation make?

Incorporation is a way to enforce children and young people's rights to the:

food, clothes and housing they need

support to stay physically and mentally healthy

right to have a say in everything that affects them
