News just dropped for anyone passionate about children's human rights! We are delighted to share with you our new State of Children’s Rights Report 2026. This year’s State of Children’s Rights Report is dedicated to exploring case studies of organisations across Scotland taking forward aspects of a children’s human rights approach in their work, in the hope of sharing learning and ideas.  

Structured around the five principles of a children’s human rights approach – embedding, equality and non-discrimination, empowerment, participation and accountability – the report is a practical resource to help Scotland’s workforce ensure they respect, protect and fulfil children’s rights.  

The report is designed to be used as a practical and ongoing reference tool. By using the Contents page, readers can navigate directly to areas of interest, whether exploring the principles of a children’s human rights approach, learning from case studies, or accessing reflections and top tips. Case studies span public bodies, third sector organisations and community groups, providing insight into how a children’s human rights approach can look practically in a range of contexts.  

Thank you to the organisations who submitted case studies for inclusion in this year’s State of Children’s Rights Report.
