The Legal Policy Manager will play a key role in empowering the children’s sector to use the law to drive systemic change and ensure children experience their rights in practice.
This exciting new role will be central to delivery of an innovative joint project between Clan Childlaw and Together (Scottish Alliance for Children’s Rights), funded by the Human Rights Fund.
Clan Childlaw is a leader in child-centred strategic litigation that drives systemic change, while Together represents over 600 organisations working to promote and protect children’s rights in Scotland.
The post holder will support strategic legal interventions, including the use of the UNCRC, to drive change for children and young people in Scotland.
The project aims to empower and enable Scotland’s children’s sector to use the law to advance children’s rights. These legal interventions may include strategic litigation, and seeking legal opinions, as well as wider measures such as supporting Together members to challenge rights breaches through informal processes etc.
Responsibilities include managing Clan’s Strategic Litigation Group, helping Together members identify opportunities for legal intervention, identifying strategic cases for Clan, and developing resources to promote the implementation and advance of children’s rights.
