Children's Rights Reports

Every child and young person has the right to an education that enables them to learn, develop and achieve their goals.

Qualifications Scotland is committed to putting children’s rights at the heart of our work. We want learners’ experiences, views and needs to inform how we develop qualifications, assessments and the wider learning experience.

We will continue to work with learners, parents and carers, teachers, colleges, training providers and other partners to understand what matters to learners and identify where we can improve.

Our approach aims to ensure that children and young people are treated fairly and with respect, have opportunities to express their views, feel safe and included, and can access the support they need to participate and succeed.

Our Children’s Rights Report sets out our approach, progress and priorities for strengthening children’s rights across our work.
