Help inform our next report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child!

<p>We are hosting a series of Zoom webinars to gather information from YOU on the state of children’s rights in Scotland. The information you share will help us write a report to the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child.</p><p>Earlier this year, we shared a survey with children, young people and our members to find out some of the top issues. We have taken note of the themes you raised and now we want to dig deeper to discover more information about these!</p><p>This webinar is on <strong>Protecting Children from Harm.</strong></p><p>We will hear from an expert speaker Joseph McGinty, Protecting Children Consultant at CELCIS,  before moving into breakout rooms facilitated by specialist organisations. Through these breakout rooms, we are eager to gather evidence and case studies to help write our report. These topics include: </p><ul><li>Violence against women and girls; </li><li>Child victims and witnesses; </li><li>Online harms;</li><li>Restraint and seclusion.</li></ul><h3>How will you have an impact?</h3><p>Sharing your knowledge, evidence and case studies will help us write our report to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. In doing so, our report will help the UN Committee understand the true state of children’s rights in Scotland as it gets ready to review the UK in May 2023. </p><p>You will also help the UN Committee decide what recommendations to make to the UK and Scottish Governments. In the past, these recommendations have influenced legislation and policy - for example, a 2016 UN recommendation helped bring about legislation on equal protection from assault.</p><h3>H﻿ow can you come prepared?</h3><p>Don&#x27;t worry, we won&#x27;t leave you unprepared for the breakout room discussions! We will send you some prompt questions in advance so you can come ready and raring to go! </p><h3>Who can join this webinar?</h3><p>Our webinars are open to both Together members and non-members.
