I convened an Advisory Group to consider the opportunities and challenges with regard to the incorporation of UNCRC into Scots or UK law. The group will meet regularly, and I am confident that it will provide good guidance on the way forward on this issue.
The membership of the group is as follows:
Law Society – Katie Hay, Chair of Family Law Committee
UNICEF - Samantha Dimmock
Save the Children – Douglas Hamilton
Together – Juliet Harris
Edinburgh University CRFR - Kay Tisdale and Susan Elsley
Scottish Human Rights Commission– Duncan Wilson
Freelance Human Rights Consultant - Carole Ewart
