@forceschildrenscotland's new report explores how being part of a Forces family can impact the human rights of a child. With the rights of all children in Scotland now legally protected under the UNCRC Scotland Act, we must ensure that the unique barriers faced by Forces children are addressed. The report makes a series of recommendations to all levels of Government to help ensure their rights are protected and promoted.
