Aberlour’s response to the Human Rights Bill consulation

The Scottish Government intends to incorporate four international equalities treaties and the right to a healthy environment into a single Human Rights Bill.

We are committed to championing children and young people’s human rights. Through our work every day we aim to make those rights real for the children, young people and families we support. Underpinning everything we do is our ambition to ensure the children we work with have an equal chance regardless of their start in life. We have worked relentlessly to ensure that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is fully embedded in law and is visible across our organisation and obvious in what we do and how we work with children, young people and their families.

As a rights respecting organisation we fully support the intention of the Human Rights Bill and the aim of respecting, protecting and fulfilling the rights of all people in Scotland.
