Together is an alliance of Scottish children's charities that works to improve the awareness, understanding and implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
We do this by:
- promoting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child;
- helping children's organisations to integrate the UNCRC into their work;
- monitoring and reporting on the progress made at a Scottish and UK level.
Our growing membership is made up of a range of children's charities, from small local playgroups through to large international charities, alongside individuals, academics and professionals with an interest in children's rights.
An annual 'State of Children's Rights Report' has been published by Together since 2010, to highlight the views and topics brought forward in ongoing consultation with it's members. In each report, case studies illustrating progress towards the full implementation of the UNCRC in Scotland are included alongside recommendations to highlight where the Scottish Government could make positive change.
