Urgent action is needed to turn the tide on #ChildPoverty. Abolishing the 2 child limit would immediately lift 300k children across the UK out of poverty. This would be a good start. We urge @Keir_Starmer to do the right thing. 👓 👇 aberlour.org.uk/news-item/le… #EndChildPoverty

Continuing our #UNCRCScotland celebrations, children ask adults: "Do they actually listen to our rights? Because they say they do, but I don't think they do."
Listen to what they have to say and give them an answer if you can 😉⬇️⬇️⬇️

The tragic death of a child in Polmont has been reported. Our thoughts go to their family and everyone who knew, and cared for them. Prison is no place for a child. @ScotParl passed a law committing to no child going to prison. This reinforces the urgency of implementing it.

Poverty is the biggest human rights issue for children in 🏴, impacting rights to life, education, play, health, & development. Deeply disappointed @GOVUK won't end discriminatory 2-child benefit cap, trapping thousands of children in poverty.

Prison is no place for children. Earlier this year, after years of campaigning @ScotParl passed a law to prevent this. It should have been commenced immediately. @Scotgov was repeatedly warned that continuing this practice breached children's rights and risked their lives.
A 17-year-old has killed himself in Polmont 3 months after legislation designed to make sure no children were sent there again received Royal Assent. My story in @heraldscotland. It's 6 years since William Lindsay's suicide there & it's still happening. heraldscotland.com/news/2445…
