Clan is an award-winning, independent children's charity that actively supports children and young people to take ownership of their rights.

Are you a solicitor interested in child-centred practice? Our next Lawyers for Children certification with @lawscot begins on Wed 21 May. This course supports solicitors interested in the practical implications of the UNCRC incorporation into Scots’ Law. buff.ly/ir4fodM

We’re 17! For the children we help, 17 can be hard as they 'age out' of care services and into adulthood. Care experienced children should not face a cliff edge at this stage; they’re often denied ongoing support. Find out about our work to change this at buff.ly/ZpS6vSW

Last week, we kicked off our Lawyers for Children certification offering a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, and develop the skills needed for child-centred legal practice.

Did you know that Clan Childlaw delivers training to professionals who need to know about children's rights? This is part of our important work to upskill professionals with knowledge of the law and how to recognise where a lawyer might be needed to resolve a children's rights issue.

We make change by sharing our expertise about how the law and it’s implementation can be improved. By responding to consultations we contribute to policy development with the goal of improving the law for children and young people.
