We’ve submitted our Stage 1 evidence on the Children (Withdrawal from Religious Education and Amendment of UNCRC Compatibility Duty) (Scotland) Bill to the Scottish Parliament’s Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee. Together welcomes the Bill’s intentions but calls for changes to make sure all children are fully protected under the UNCRC and can access their rights in practice.
