Children’s Hearings

Children in the Family

Suitable for anyone working with children or their families, or in the field of child law, this course looks at what parental rights and responsibilities are and how they apply in practice.

This course is running on the following dates and times:

Friday 21^st April, 10am – 1pm at Anderson Strathern, 1 Rutland Court, Edinburgh, EH3 8EY (Course Code CFAS21)

UNCRC in Practice

Suitable for anyone working with children, or in the field of child law, this session aims to raise the awareness of the rights of children and young people.

It has been widely recognised that children and young people have a relatively low awareness of their rights and yet a comparatively high rate of success in terms of vindicating their rights. This course is part of Clan Childlaw’s national promotion and awareness-raising around the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), especially relevant given the new reporting duties introduced by the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 in relation to UNCRC.

This course is running on the following dates and times:

Thursday 11^th May, 10am – 1pm at Anderson Strathern, 50 George Square, Glasgow, G2 1EH (Course Code CRAS11)

Friday 12^th May, 10am – 1pm at Thornton’s, Whitehall House, 33 Yeaman Shore, Dundee, DD1 4BJ (Course Code CRT12)
