Abstract
First paragraph: The?United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill?marks a major milestone for children¡¯s?human?rights?in Scotland.? It will ensure children¡¯s rights are woven into policy, law and practice in Scotland and that children can rely on their UNCRC rights in the domestic courts. When publishing a Children¡¯s Rights Scheme, Scottish Ministers will need to report on how they will ¡®promote complaints handling procedures that children can understand and use¡¯ and ¡®ensure that children have effective access to justice¡¯. This brings us closer to ensuring a system of child-friendly complaints, remedy and redress is available to children across public bodies.
