Policy

Our Policy Development Unit aims to improve outcomes for children and young people by contributing to policy development in relation to the realisation of their rights across Scotland. We are uniquely placed to base our policy work on the evidence gathered from our direct legal representation of children and young people. We use our legal knowledge, skills and expertise to advance policy and its implementation.

We provide briefings, respond to government consultations and give expert written and oral evidence to parliamentary committees on issues which have implications for children and young people.

We work collaboratively with many other organisations and individuals on a range of child law issues and are always keen to hear from anyone who thinks they might want to work with us on a particular issue.

If you would like to get in touch, please email our Legal Policy Manager, Janet Cormack.
