Enabling a culture of everyday accountability for children’s rights.  The Right to the Best Possible Health: Seldom Heard Voices

Webinar resources from the WCYPF UNCRC Webinar Series - Seldom Heard Voices, which was hosted on Wednesday 20 November 2024.

United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) Article 24

Children and young people have the right to the best possible health. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and wellbeing so that children can stay healthy.

This webinar aimed to:

  • Consider the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 and Article 24 for children, young people and their families, especially those who might be furthest away from their rights and therefore seldom heard. 

We:

  • Provided an overview of the UNCRC in Scotland and article 24 within the context of health and social care.
  • Explored the challenges children and young people might face in accessing health information and/or health and social care services.
  • Considered the evidence from research, policy and practice.
  • Shared examples from practice which have a positive impact on children’s rights.

Target Audience:

  • All levels of Health and Social Care

Due to a technical issue with Microsoft Teams on the day of the live event, some delegates were unable to view the video recording or hear any sound of a pre recorded presentation.  As a result of the technical issue, the recording will be available for a short time below.  Apologies this was cut short on the day of the live event.

Listening to young carers - Putting words into  action in support of young carers rights: Getting it right for young carers can be a fine balance between their rights as children and young people and the rights they have as unpaid carers. Through this recording, young carers tell us what the health and social care workforce can do to support them to continue their caring role.
