Just the Right Space

Whether you’re a child, young person or an adult seeking support and trying to understand how the justice system works, this is a space for you. Here you’ll find info and advice, the rights you’re entitled to and other people’s experiences, and places that can offer you support.

This website was created by the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) and has been co-designed with young people who have justice experience.

Your journey through justice

Navigating the justice system

The following resources offer you support throughout the system – from being charged by the police to what happens after you leave court or are convicted. It also offers related resources which can help you support your child with issues affecting them.

Your guide to justice

Words and phrases in the justice system and in court are not always easy to understand. Sometimes, this can even lead to an unfair experience in court.

Who can support me?

There are many people and services out there that can offer you support. These are some of these places we think might be helpful.

Be a Change Maker

Children and young people’s voices should be at the heart of any decisions and changes within the justice system.

More organisations are involving justice and care experienced people in the work that they do. People might want to share their views on how to influence change in the system.

Already children and young people in Scotland have been playing a big part in making change happen. You can read more in this section.

Get involved

There are more opportunities than ever before to have your say on how we do justice. Here are some of the groups we know about. If you’d like us to add a group or project, please get in touch.

Share your voice

Tell us what you think about the justice and care systems, what your experiences are, or the things you think need to change. Maybe you’d like to tell your story in a blog/reel, or in artwork.

This website is a work in progress. Help us make it better by sharing your ideas about what you’d like to see.

Your rights, your life

Why do children's rights matter?

If you are a child who is in conflict with the law, then you have a right to understand what is happening to you when you enter the justice system.

Throughout this, you should be given clear information about your rights. If you need it, you should have an adult you can trust who can help you understand your rights.

Adults need to learn about rights too. This includes parents and carers, adults in the community and professional people, including those that work and volunteer in the Children’s Hearings System and the justice system (such as Police Scotland and the Scottish Prison Service).

What is the UNCRC?

There are many international agreements and laws that help us understand the rights of children, including when children are in conflict with the law.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, called the UNCRC for short, is the international agreement that sets out all the rights children have from birth to the age of 18. Scotland is in the process of making the UNCRC part of its laws. This process is called incorporation.

The Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland has this useful guide to children’s rights.

Secure Care Pathway and Standards Scotland

The 44 Standards set out what children and young people in secure care can expect. They focus on the child’s journey before, during and after secure care and how that should look and feel. These Standards were developed with children and young people with experience of secure care. Find out more.

Understanding your rights

These resources have been designed by CYCJ and others to help you better understand the rights you are entitled to in the justice system and custody.

State of Childrens Rights reports

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Every year, Together publishes the State of Children's Rights in Scotland report which aims to monitor implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in Scotland. Each report takes a different approach to looking at whether enough is being done to fulfill the human rights of children living in Scotland.

Research for State of Children's Rights reports is undertaken through a variety of methods, including seminars, surveys, and desk research. We undertake extensive engagement with our membership throughout this process and much of the evidence we collect for the report draws from our members' work in policy and practice.

Below you can find brief summaries of each report along with a link to a digital version.

State of Children's Rights in Scotland 2022

The 2022 State of Children's Rights Report seeks to inspire and enable everyone in Scotland to put children's human rights at the heart of everything they do. It has been developed as a practical guide to support public authorities, the third sector, organisations and individuals as we approach implementation of the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill.

The report covers a range of actions from children's participation, through to budgeting and impact assessments. It highlights common challenges, promising practices, resources and top tips that you can draw from to better understand what a child rights-based approach looks like.

Please note our 2022 report is only available in a digital format.

State of Children's Rights in Scotland 2020

The 'List of Issues Prior to Reporting' (LOIPR) for 2020, identifies 30 priority issues for children in Scotland and will inform the initial stages of the UK's next review by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.

It draws upon evidence gathered through our State of Children's Rights Webinar Series in which over 500 participants took part in, to highlight gaps in legislation, policy and practice, including:

Barriers in accessing justice

Gaps in data collection

Efforts to engage children in decision-making which are often tokenistic or missed

Minimum age of criminal responsibility falls below international standards

Inappropriate use of restraint

Increasing child poverty and widening health inequalities.

The UN Committee will review all the evidence submitted before publishing its LOIPR in February 2021. The LOIPR will ask the UK and devolved governments to provide information on specific topics.

Please note our 2020 report is only available in a digital format.

State of Children's Rights in Scotland 2019

The State of Children's Rights report 2019 considers the extent to which children in Scotland are able to exercise their human rights as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It builds on recommendations made to the UK by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2016. These covered a wide range of issues from education, health, privacy and protection from violence to discrimination. The report draws on information provided by our members to give an update on how these recommendations are being implemented and what more needs to be done.

The UK's next review by the UN Committee will take place in 2021-22. Together will draw from this report, and wider consultation with members, to inform the UN Committee as to the priority issues impacting on children's human rights in Scotland.

Hard copies are available for our paid up members. If you are not a paid up member, reports are available for a donation of £10 plus postage. We are a small charity with a very limited budget so whilst we're more than happy for everyone to access the online version, we can only afford a limited print run. To request your report, please contact info@togetherscotland.org.uk

Together's State of Children's Rights report 2019 was accompanied by a child-friendly version, designed to appeal to our young readers.

Together was joined by Maree Todd MSP Minister for Children and Young People, the Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland, and members of the Children's Parliament and Scottish Youth Parliament to celebrate the launch on 28 th February 2020. The event jointly celebrated the launch of the Observatory of Children's Human Rights Scotland of which Together is part, and for which the newly published report will serve as a roadmap for action.

State of Children's Rights in Scotland 2017

The State of Children's Rights re port 2017 sets out promising child rights-based practice taken by public bodies across Scotland. It consists of a wide range of case studies from our members, other organisations, and public bodies that illustrate how a rights-based approach can make a significant difference to children and young people's lives and improve the quality and effectiveness of public services.

The aim of the report is to act as an inspirational and encouraging tool for public bodies to draw from when exploring how to embed children and young people's rights into their own policy and practice. The Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 establishes duties on public bodies to report every three years on the steps they have taken to further children and young people's rights. The duty commenced on April 2017 and the first reports are to be published in 2020. Together's 2017 State of Children's Rights report can be used as a tool for public bodies to take forward children's rights as they commence this reporting duty.

The launch of the report was supported by Together's #RightsResolution campaign in January 2018, where we asked public bodies to make a commitment to further children's rights in 2018.

State of Children's Rights in Scotland 2016

This report offers a baseline against which progress in implementing recommendations made by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (UN Committee) and other international treaty bodies can be measured. It also reflects on areas where progress is being made and identifies where further efforts are needed.

The report was written and published following the 150 Concluding Observations made by the UN Committee during their 5 th reporting cycle of the UK. It aims to provide data and evidence on where Scotland stands on each of the Concluding Observations and makes Scotland-specific recommendations on how the Scottish Government can take these forward.

The State of Children's Rights report 2016 was previewed at a reception held at Scottish Parliament which was attended by Together members, MSPs and the Minister for Childcare and Early Years. At the reception, Together's Director highlighted three prominent children's rights issues from the report and called on Scottish Government to take immediate action on these. The issues were: raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility; equal protection from violence for children; and the banning of mosquito devices.

State of Children's Rights report 2015

The State of Children's Rights report 2015 acts as the alternative report to the UN Committee on the Rights of Child for Scotland (as part of the United Kingdom) during their 5 th reporting cycle of the UK. The report was endorsed by 66 NGOs and aims to examine progress made since 2008 to further the UNCRC and take forward the UN Committee's 2008 Concluding Observations. It provides commentary and scrutiny of the UK State Report, submitted to the UN Committee in May 2014, and examines the Scottish Government report to the UK, submitted in July 2013.

The report includes 109 recommendations for improvements in the implementation of the UNCRC in Scotland.

State of Children's Rights report 2014

T ogether's 2014 report provides a non-government perspective on the extent to which children's rights, as laid out in the UNCRC, are fulfilled in Scotland. It reflects on the year since the 2013 report, discussing what progress has been made and where further efforts are needed.

Research for the report involved a series of thematic focus groups on issues including children affected by imprisonment, disability and mental health, and recreation, culture and play. Further desk research into issues highlighted by Together's members was then undertaken to add to the evidence collated through the consultations.

State of Children's Rights report 2013

The aim of the State of Children's Rights report 2013 is to reflect on the progress made in implementing the UNCRC which is outlined by the Scottish Government in it's submission to the 5 th UK Government Report to the UN Committee. The report also highlights issues that Together's members have identified as priorities.

State of Children's Rights report 2012

The State of Children's Rights report 2012 aims to reflect on measures taken to improve the implementation of the UNCRC over the year preceding the release of the report. The report makes recommendations on what steps should be taken next to improve children's rights in Scotland and provides a point of referral against which future efforts can be assessed.

State of Children's Rights report 2011

This report was compiled and produced by Together following wide consultation with children's organisations across Scotland. Consultation involved gathering views from over 250 professionals working with and for children and young people through seminars held in Ayr, Inverness, Aberdeen, the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh. This was followed by an online survey completed by 61 organisations working across a range of issues including mental health and wellbeing, disability and domestic abuse.

State of Children's Rights report 2010

The State of Children's Rights report 2010 looks at the progress that has been made since the launch of the Scottish Government's UNCRC Action Plan 'Do the Right Thing in September 2009. It explores the key successes and difficulties experienced in enabling children and young people to enjoy the rights enshrined in the UNCRC. It also provides recommendations as to how further progress can be made.

Learner Participation in Educational Settings

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
​How to use this self-evaluation approach to improve practice?

This guidance was initially developed in response to research that was commissioned by the Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland and carried out by the University of Stirling. This demonstrated that schools who were performing higher than expected in attainment had a strong focus on learner participation.

In response to this a framework was developed which outlined clear arenas in which participation took place which included:

In Learning, Teaching and Assessment

In Opportunities for Personal Achievement

In Decision Making Groups

In connection with the Wider Community

When exploring how they might take forward learner participation, schools should consider where they are currently and how they want to develop their practice in each arena. The 'self-evaluation mapping tool' and 'planning tool' (provided below) can support them to do this, but extensive dialogue about participation using the guidance itself and the 'introductory presentation' should help practitioners to develop a shared understanding of what is involved in supporting learner participation.

Practitioners should ​also seek to understand the principles of participation including the need to create inclusive and respectful opportunities for all children and young people to be involved in participation. A key aspect of this is ensuring that intergenerational dialogue takes place which means that adults are able to see children and young people as equal participants in two-way dialogue that recognises children's rights and seeks to ensure that the outcome of this dialogue is actively shared with children and young people.

Schools and early years settings should ask themselves the following questions when taking forward this guidance:

To what extent do we have a shared understanding of what learner participation involves?

Do the values and practices within our setting, respectfully include children and young people in active participation?

How well do we embed participation in each of the 4 arenas of learning including: learning, teaching and assessment; personal achievement; decision making groups and wider community?

Do we recognise the impact and benefits that embedding learner participation in our setting can bring - in areas such as learning and teaching, attainment, relationships and culture and ethos?

How ready are we to fully develop and embed learner participation in our setting?

As well as the guidance, this resource provides some support materials and links to helpful resources including to the 7 Golden Rules (on CYPCS website) which can help schools to ​develop authentic participation.

A key part of the resource is the filmed case studies which provide helpful examples of practice in at least one of the four arenas outlined in the guidance although many of them also have links to the other arenas. These case studies are designed to prompt viewers and educators to consider their own contexts for learner participation and to plan for change. Exemplification can help practitioners to begin to apply and generalise ideas and understand their own practice. Accompanying each video is some additional information on the schools/early years settings journey within participation.

Case Study 1 - St. Eunan's Primary School, West Dunbartonshire - this video demonstrates learner participation mainly in the arena of learning, teaching and assessment.

Can't view this video? You can also view this clip on Glow (log-in required).

In St. Eunan's Primary, pupils are invited to reflect and have a say in matters that​ affect them including learning, teaching and assessment through the Changemakers initiative. Changemakers are pupils from throughout the school who collect, analyse and communicate evidence and experience about the quality of learning and teaching. It particularly focuses on approaches the pupils themselves value in their learning and sharing these more widely. With support and training, Changemakers provide in-depth feedback about the quality of, for example, lesson pacing, questioning, levels of difficulty in tasks and topics addressed.

Case Study 2 - Our Lady's High School, North Lanarkshire - this video demonstrates learner participation mainly in the arena of Opportunities for Personal Achievement.

Can't view this video? You can also view this clip on Glow (log-in required).

In Our Lady's High School, one key project is the planning, participating in and evaluating visits to Malawi and China. These visits help pupils to understand the lives and cultures of others and afford many opportunities for skill sharing and reciprocal learning between cultures. Pupils reported valuing the opportunities to volunteer and share in decision making about many project initiatives and events. This participatory approach to personal achievement supported rich learning environments, improved attainment and better relationships between staff and pupils.

Case Study 3 - Bearsden Academy, East Dunbartonshire - this video demonstrates learner participation mainly in the arena of decision making groups.

Can't view this video? You can also view this clip on Glow (log-in required).

In Bearsden Academy, pupils have for some time, been involved in having a say in school governance matters. Staff were keen that pupils were more widely involved in school improvement processes and began this approach by asking pupils to share their initial thoughts on school improvement. This led on to pupils being more widely involved in self-evaluation and developments within the school. The Bearsden Aspirational Team involves 30 young people from S1 to S6 in sharing evaluative comments on the quality of their learning with staff in a respectful, helpful and positive manner. Young people help complete and review a school improvement plan and work collaboratively to take responsibility for that plan.

Case Study 4 - Ferguslie Pre-five Centre, Renfrewshire - this video demonstrates learner participation mainly in the arena of wider community.

Can't view this video? You can also view this clip on Glow (log-in required).

In Ferguslie Pre-five Centre, one initiative that brings the community together with staff and children in a participatory way is the morning café.​ Children take orders and help to run the service and manage the business. As part of this project they were able to visit local coffee houses to help them develop their own ideas. Staff take into account their knowledge of how children learn to create meaningful approaches to learning in this context. As a result, children talk confidently about what they enjoy learning and how some of their skills have developed.

Case Study 5 - Braes High School, Falkirk - this video demonstrates ​working across all arenas.

Can't view this video? You can also view this clip on Glow (log-in required).

In Braes High School, all of the arenas come into play through pupils involvement in the 'Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) programme'. This work uses peer-to-peer communication and support so that pupils can become more aware of the ways they can safely intervene when they witness incidents of violence and bullying. There is a school wide structured approach to the development and training of pupil mentors who work with younger pupils to encourage members of the school community to take action against bullying and violence. Part of this approach is the development of pupil-led decision making groups with opportunities for reporting, adult support and involvement. The initiative has had a ripple effect through the pupils' own lives, the culture and ethos of the schools involved and their associated communities.​

The impact of COVID-19 has seen many organisations adapting to the flexibility of working from home and the workplace. This brings new challenges, including the safety and security of staff, data and organisational compliance when it comes to remote online working. In this guest blog for Cyber Scotland Week What is cyber security and how can the SSSC help? , Scott Tees stresses the importance of cyber security and how the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) can help workplaces stay safe online.
Many people think human error creates the greatest online risk or threat. This is not the case. The lack of investment in time, training and including staff as part of an organisation's online security strategy is arguably the greatest risk. Human errors are merely the result. It's important that awareness raising and staff training become commonplace within an organisation's online secure culture. Tick box training will only cover over the cracks.

When we speak about cyber security, most people think of the IT department and all things technical. However, online safety and security impacts everyone, so, prevention should involve everyone, in all parts of an organisation.
Our work
Most social service workers, either now or in the future, will have access to digital devices as part of your job. We are committed to helping keep the social service workforce safe and secure online.

We have a new Cyber Resilience Coordinator, Scott Tees, who will create a point of contact and provide continuity between us, the public, private and third sector online safety and security activities. He will engage with the workforce to understand the hurdles you face and work with you to overcome these. His work will be in line with the SSSC Strategic Plan 2020-2023 and supports the commitments we've made to help organisations and individuals work to the SSSC Codes of Practice while online.

We will help workers by using easy to understand language that helps them become more aware, confident and involved in keeping themselves, people who use services and carers safe and secure online.

We are members of The CyberScotland Partnership, which is a collaboration of key strategic stakeholders, brought together to focus efforts on improving cyber resilience across Scotland in a coordinated and coherent way.
SSSC are running online workshops as part of Cyber Scotland Week - find out more. About our blogger
As members of the CyberScotland Partnership, we will contribute on behalf of the social service workforce and share information, updates and advice to help keep you safe and secure online. This includes advice from national partners, such as the National Cyber Security Centre and the six actions they recommend to improve your cyber security.

This article highlights just how easily we can all be caught out and how your personal information and finances or that of the people you support can be stolen.

Digital health and care strategy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Joint Foreword
In 2018, Scotland's first Digital Health and Care Strategy was published. It was a bold and ambitious strategy that recognised the health and wellbeing of the people of Scotland can, and should, be enhanced and transformed through the use of digital technology. We echo and extend the sentiment made in the foreword to that strategy: digital technology is an essential component of fit for purpose health and care services in a modern, dynamic Scotland.
What no-one could have envisaged then is the pace and scale of change brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. Organisations across Scotland have used digital technologies to work differently, both to respond to Covid-19 and to sustain essential health and care services, at great speed and under incredible pressure. Continued innovation will be supported by our refreshed strategy, ensuring Scotland remains well-placed to develop, design and adopt new technologies.

Just as digital technology was at the forefront of our response to the pandemic, it will be central to how we re-build and remobilise the health and social care system as part of the recovery from Covid-19. As outlined in the recently published NHS Recovery Plan, digital technologies can support us to address backlogs in healthcare and increase capacity in the NHS. Beyond the NHS, digital technology also remains critical to how we embed and sustain health and social care integration, ensuring that technology enables people to interact seamlessly across health and care services. Health boards, local authorities, health and social care partnerships, housing organisations, industry, third and independent sector organisations have all been central to the design, development and delivery of our ambitions. .

In line with the refresh of the overall Digital Strategy for Scotland, we recognise the problems that come from digital exclusion. Digital inclusion, now more than ever, must be at the heart of what we do. We heard time and again throughout the engagement process for this strategy the need to tackle digital exclusion and provide 'digital choice'. As we continue to develop digital service choice for our citizens, this strategy recognises the imperative to do digital right. Whilst technology can and does transform lives for the better, we must ensure that no one is left behind.

Historically, an emphasis has been placed on how the system uses technology in the health and social care sector, as opposed to how people use technology. Continuing in the same vein as its predecessor, this is a strategy that seeks to put people first - whilst also recognising our impact on the planet. Many digital technologies can help us address the climate emergency, from smart sensors in the home through to greater use of remote technology that reduces travel, and it is imperative that health & care plays its part.

The time is right to refresh Scotland's Digital Health and Care Strategy, to build on and embed the rapid advances that have been made, and to really focus on enhancing and enabling citizens' access not only to services, but to their health and care data as well.
Our thanks go to everyone who has helped to deliver on these successes.

Cyber Resilient Scotland: strategic framework

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Joint Foreword

The past year has challenged us like no other time in recent history, but it has also served to highlight just how critical digital technologies are to our lives, and to the functioning of society and the economy.

Whether working or learning from home, running a business, or keeping in touch with friends and family, digital technologies have underpinned much of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and they continue to support our Critical National Infrastructure.

Digital technologies cut across everything we do - as our forthcoming Digital Strategy will demonstrate. The secure and resilient ways we use them cannot be an afterthought. Cyber resilience cannot be viewed simply as an " IT issue". It is, in fact, the very backbone to every public service, to every business and to every community in Scotland. It is a critical part of our economic and societal recovery and renewal, especially as Scotland embraces new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Smart Cities and 5G wireless networks.

Cyber resilience is key to operational resilience and business continuity, as well as our capacity to grow and flourish as we adapt to the demands of operating online. Our ability to deter, respond to and recover from national cyber attacks is our top priority. We need to plan, exercise and reflect continually and collaboratively, to ensure that Scotland is prepared to withstand cyber threats.

The Strategic Framework for a Cyber Resilient Scotland sets out what we need to do to make Scotland a digitally secure and digitally resilient nation. The cyber threats we face cannot be met by government alone. We all have a role to play in protecting ourselves, our families and our communities. Our public, third and private sector organisations need to work together with the Scottish Government to minimise the harm and disruption that can result from a cyber incident, and thus making the very most of technological advances.

The pandemic has reminded us of the importance of resilience and agility. We will review the implementation of our Framework regularly, monitoring indicators against the four outcomes and the action plans that will guide delivery.

The UK Government plans to produce an interim National Cyber Security Strategy in 2021, and the Scottish Government will continue to work closely with the Cabinet Office to ensure alignment of our mutual strategic aims and ambitions. We will also continue to work closely with the National Cyber Security Centre and Police Scotland as we drive forward our shared aim to make Scotland digitally secure and resilient.

It is my wish that the National Cyber Resilience Advisory Board should continue to take national oversight of the Framework, providing drive and advice, and challenging me, my colleagues and the Scottish Government to maximise the digital opportunities. I thank the Board for its work to date, and extend my gratitude to all partners involved in delivering our shared strategic aims.

I look forward to working with you all to achieve our shared vision of Scotland that thrives as a digitally secure and cyber resilient nation.

John Swinney, MSP
Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills

The Strategic Framework sets out the approach Scotland will take to creating a digitally secure and resilient nation. A challenge which requires a community effort to raise the awareness of the cyber threat; to help prepare our people, our organisations and our businesses to deal with cyber risks and a growing cyber crime threat.

Our approach must be founded in a partnership which brings the public and private sectors together to help raise cyber resilience awareness, skills, standards and our collective ability to respond to a major cyber incident. In the midst of COVID-19 we saw cyber crime change to exploit the fear, uncertainty and doubt created by the pandemic for profit. We also saw people working together across Scotland to help deal with that threat. That community spirit is something we want to build on through the creation of the CyberScotland Partnership to collaborate on cyber security awareness campaigns and practical advice on how to counter cyber crime.

There are challenges in implementing any cyber resilience programme at a national level, and those often relate to achieving impact at scale, to embedding cyber resilience into the design and rollout of future services, and to a co-ordinated and effective response to a major cyber incident. Scotland is no different in this regard, and we will need to work closely with the National Cyber Security Centre to achieve these outcomes.

Scotland is a nation of small and medium sized enterprises, and we will continue to raise awareness and support those enterprises in improving their cyber defence, working through the Scottish Business Resilience Centre, through public and third sector organisations to achieve this. The NCSC's Active Cyber Defence programme will play a key role in protecting the broader community.

Looking forward, we must embed cyber resilience into the design of Scotland's future digital services, becoming a core element of the Digital Scotland strategy, as we ensure that the digital services we build for the future are trustworthy and resilient.

Recent cyber security incidents have demonstrated the need to be able to orchestrate a national response which can quickly mobilise the support which organisations need to detect, respond and recover from a major cyber attack. The time has passed when individual organisations can regard themselves as medieval castles each defending themselves. We now are all part of an increasingly interconnected digital ecosystem, requiring us to improve our collective threat intelligence, security operations and incident response capabilities.

Chair of the National Cyber Resilience Advisory Board

Advancing Children's Rights in Detention

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The UN Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty detailed many children's poor experiences in detention, highlighting the urgent need for reform.

Applying a child-centred model of detention that fulfils the rights of the child under the five themes of provision, protection, participation, preparation and partnership, this original book illustrates how reform can happen. Drawing on Ireland's experience of transforming law, policy and practice, and combining theory with real-life experiences, this compelling book demonstrates how children's rights can be implemented in detention.

This important case study of reform presents a powerful argument for a progressive, rights-based approach to child detention. Worthy of international application, the book shares practical insights into how theory can be translated into practice.

"A nuanced, detailed, critical analysis of a child-centred approach to detention with a unique focus on practical application of child rights theory, policy and standards. A must-read for every child rights advocate who cares about youth justice." Nancy E. Dowd, University of Florida

"This book constitutes a tour de force in presenting an advanced theoretical approach, based on practical experience, to propose a theory of change that should inspire all practitioners willing to engage in the complex process of bringing together the rights of the child and the context of detention with regard to international standards. One of the main strengths of this book is that it is based on practical experience conducted over a period of several years; it is not an abstract theory, but the result of conclusive experience, documented and evaluated to a very high standard." Benoit Van Keirsbilck, Member of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child and of the Advisory Board of the Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty

Rights Respecting? Scotland's approach to children in conflict with the law - CYCJ

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.provider_name
Children's and Young People's Centre for Justice

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This report, published in January 2020, sets out what Scotland must do to ensure its youth justice system is truly 'rights respecting', if it is to uphold the terms of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

It is the first of its kind to translate the UNCRC into Scottish specific actions to improve policy, practice and experience in youth justice.

Report author Dr Claire Lightowler took a year's sabbatical to dedicate herself to exploring the complex and often emotive issues around offending by children, based on CYCJ's belief that youth justice in Scotland requires a reconfiguration on a scale not seen since Kilbrandon. Read more.

Age of Criminal Responsibility (Scotland) Act 2019 - Operational Guidance for Social Work and Police

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Age of Criminal Responsibility (Scotland) Act 2019 (hereafter referred to as 'the Act') is effective from 17 December 2021. This brings important changes to the rights of all children under 12 years of age.

This change is already reflected in the updated Early and Effective Intervention - Framework of Core Elements which was published by the Scottish Government in June 2021. The Core Elements recognises the difference between offending and concerning or harmful behaviour.

A vital part of the changes this introduces for children under 12 is to protect them from the harmful effects of early criminalisation, while ensuring they receive the right support and reduce stigma. Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) emphasises the need to take a child-centred approach, understanding the wellbeing of a child in their current situation, taking into consideration the wider influences on a child and their developmental needs. It is essential that all agencies who work to support and meet the needs of children across Scotland ensure that their processes, practice and documentation reflect this important change. The language that all professionals use, in any form of communication, must reflect the wellbeing and rights-based approach that all agencies support.

Many agencies and local partnerships will have already started work to ensure they are ready for the commencement of the Act on 17 th December 2021. All organisations, agencies and partnerships are urged to ensure that they review all of their processes, practices and documentation to ensure we use language that promotes wellbeing and does not criminalise children. By doing so we will ensure that this important change in the rights of children in Scotland is fully reflected in the way their needs are described. This will have immediate benefits, building on the GIRFEC approach and providing a strong foundation for future developments to deliver on our commitments to UNCRC.

The above guidance contains information to support Police Scotland and Local Authorities in the application of their operational duties, under the Age of Criminal Responsibility (Scotland) Act 2019 (the Act). This Guidance should be read in conjunction with the following, published by Scottish Ministers:

Just the Right Space

Whether you’re a child, young person or an adult seeking support and trying to understand how the justice system works, this is a space for you. Here you’ll find info and advice, the rights you’re entitled to and other people’s experiences, and places that can offer you support.

This website was created by the Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) and has been co-designed with young people who have justice experience.

Your journey through justice

Navigating the justice system

The following resources offer you support throughout the system – from being charged by the police to what happens after you leave court or are convicted. It also offers related resources which can help you support your child with issues affecting them.

Your guide to justice

Words and phrases in the justice system and in court are not always easy to understand. Sometimes, this can even lead to an unfair experience in court.

Who can support me?

There are many people and services out there that can offer you support. These are some of these places we think might be helpful.

Be a Change Maker

Children and young people’s voices should be at the heart of any decisions and changes within the justice system.

More organisations are involving justice and care experienced people in the work that they do. People might want to share their views on how to influence change in the system.

Already children and young people in Scotland have been playing a big part in making change happen. You can read more in this section.

Get involved

There are more opportunities than ever before to have your say on how we do justice. Here are some of the groups we know about. If you’d like us to add a group or project, please get in touch.

Share your voice

Tell us what you think about the justice and care systems, what your experiences are, or the things you think need to change. Maybe you’d like to tell your story in a blog/reel, or in artwork.

This website is a work in progress. Help us make it better by sharing your ideas about what you’d like to see.

Your rights, your life

Why do children's rights matter?

If you are a child who is in conflict with the law, then you have a right to understand what is happening to you when you enter the justice system.

Throughout this, you should be given clear information about your rights. If you need it, you should have an adult you can trust who can help you understand your rights.

Adults need to learn about rights too. This includes parents and carers, adults in the community and professional people, including those that work and volunteer in the Children’s Hearings System and the justice system (such as Police Scotland and the Scottish Prison Service).

What is the UNCRC?

There are many international agreements and laws that help us understand the rights of children, including when children are in conflict with the law.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, called the UNCRC for short, is the international agreement that sets out all the rights children have from birth to the age of 18. Scotland is in the process of making the UNCRC part of its laws. This process is called incorporation.

The Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland has this useful guide to children’s rights.

Secure Care Pathway and Standards Scotland

The 44 Standards set out what children and young people in secure care can expect. They focus on the child’s journey before, during and after secure care and how that should look and feel. These Standards were developed with children and young people with experience of secure care. Find out more.

Understanding your rights

These resources have been designed by CYCJ and others to help you better understand the rights you are entitled to in the justice system and custody.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.provider_name
Children's and Young People's Centre for Justice

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At the Children and Young People's Centre for Justice (CYCJ), we know that many children and young people with experience of the justice systems have a desire to express their views, to be listened to and - perhaps most importantly - to be heard. By doing so, we want to be able to make changes to the various systems which impact on the lives of those who come into conflict with the law.

In recognition of the importance of the issue, participation and engagement is now a distinct workstream in itself, through which CYCJ aims to make participation the norm throughout the youth justice sector, and to support organisations to develop their practice. Not only will this aspect of our work influence and shape our partners' work, it will also influence both the research and the policy and practice elements of CYCJ's work.

This strategy should be read in conjunction with CYCJ's five year strategy, Practice & Policy Strategy and Research Strategy as they are all interlinked.
