Today marks two years since @scotparl voted to put #UNCRCScotland in law for children and young people.
Yet they are still waiting.
Rebecca, Finlay and Lewis want action on this...before they are timed out of its protection.
📰 #TeamScotlandUN : Here's news coverage of the recommendations from the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, including calls for @ScotGov to 'expeditiously' bring the #UNCRCScotland Bill back to Scottish Parliament

After years of work by #TeamScotlandUN , including Together 🧡, our members, Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland and children & young people, UNChildRights has made new #ChildRights recommendations to Scotland and the wider UK, with priorities including #UNCRCScotland , #EndChildPoverty and mental health.
Made a short escape from marking to listen to a fascinating seminar with the amazing Laura Lundy on the incorporation of #UNCRCScotland and implications for Scottish schools - lots and lots to think about! Thank you for organising Dr Amy Hanna and School of Education, University of Strathclyde

How did Scotland do in answering the questions from the Committee? Here’s what one young person who followed the session in detail thought. #TeamScotlandUN #UNCRCScotland
So excited to be back in Geneva with the incredible #TeamScotlandUN fighting for #UNCRCScotland ❤️
When the #UNCRCScotland bill passed two years ago, I was 15. Now, a trip to the UN to advocate for it later, I'm almost 18 and it's almost definitely too late for it to benefit me. Two years is a huge amount of time to a child, and this delay cannot go on for any longer.
🗣️ @BeauJMSYP and Daisy Stewart Henderson MSYP are in Geneva with MCPs from Children's Parliament, Young Advisors from Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland, Commissioner Bruce Adamson and @Together_SACR Director Juliet Harris 🧡 to hear @ScotGov held to account on their record on children and young people’s rights
#UNCRCScotland
Today is my 18th birthday, which means that it's officially too late for #UNCRCScotland incorporation to benefit me, despite the bill having been passed over 2 years ago, when I was 15, and the fact that I've spent a lot of those two years campaigning for it.
📢BREAKING! 📢

I have advocated for children’s rights since my own childhood.
Let’s not make children wait any longer. The time for #uncrcscotland is NOW - it’s long overdue!

The fact that it is almost 2 years since we campaigned for the #UNCRCScotland Bill to reach the Scottish Parliament, and it has seen little action since is shocking.
Scotland's next First Minister must protect and stand up for Children's Rights, taking action to #MakeRightsReal
Now Scottish Government replying on #UNCRCScotland bill - saying Humza Yousaf has committed to bring bill back asap but no timescale yet. Says need to work with GOV.UK and have to take time now to mitigate the risk of future challenge....
#TeamScotlandUN
Today marks 2 years since the #UNCRCScotland bill passed unanimously in the Scottish Parliament. This was an amazing achievement which was celebrated. However, after the legal challenge, the bill still has not come back. Children & Young people need our rights protected by law!
Day 2 of the UK's UN #ChildRights examination is about to begin.

It was really disappointing to be sat in the meeting, looking forward to hearing the progress they are making on redrafting the bill, and hear a response like this.
