UNCRC and Children's Right to Home

Clan Childlaw

It is a general principle of UNCRC that every child has rights. Article 6 of the UNCRC says we must ensure the survival and development of the child, while article 20 says that a child who cannot live with their family must be protected and cared for. In our practice we see children facing homelessness in their transition from care and children homeless when their right to care and protection is denied. This can result in children being placed in unsuitable accommodation, made homeless from care and not receiving the housing support they have the right to.

This training will connect your day-to-day work with children and young people facing homelessness to UNCRC articles, strengthening your rights-based practice. Find out how you can prevent negative consequences for children and young people you work with by using their UNCRC rights alongside Scottish child welfare legislation when you advocate for them.
