Who Cares? Scotland · 2020
This report presents findings from Who Cares? Scotland's first Annual Participation Programme theme on Child and Human Rights, drawing on views from their Care Experienced membership. The research found that Care Experienced people face significant barriers to understanding and accessing their rights, and that existing complaints and redress mechanisms are often inaccessible or inadequate. Members strongly supported lifelong rights protections for Care Experienced people, independent advocacy, and child-friendly routes to challenging rights breaches. The report makes recommendations to the Scottish Government around rights education, professional training, and accountability mechanisms for rights compliance.
