Abstract
The Commissioner for Children and Young People in Scotland was established in 2003 by the Scottish Parliament. The core value of the institution is to ensure the participation of children and young people in their work. The office is committed to working to raise awareness and understanding of children`s human rights amongst children and adults across Scotland. The Commissioner uses its legal powers to investigate key children`s human rights issues and promote a rights-based approach to policy, guidance and practice.
