Our ambition is for all children and young people in Glasgow to know their rights and have these rights protected. To achieve this we need all adults to support children and young people in knowing their rights and working together to ensure these rights are protected. Article 12 of the UNCRC gives children and young people the right to be consulted in matters affecting them and to have their views listened to and considered. In Glasgow we are committed to listening to children and young people.
Glasgow City Council’s Listening to Children and Young People framework promotes children’s rights. The Glasgow Child and Family Plan states the vision for Glasgow’s children and young people as: “We want every child to be supported to achieve their full potential and contribute positively to their communities, throughout their lives”.
