Children in Scotland is delivering a free online webinar for the third sector on Thursday 19 March 2026, 10am – 12pm, via Zoom, offering an introduction to Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC), children’s rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
“Exploring children’s rights and Scotland’s commitment to ensuring children, young people and families receive the right support at the right time.”
