Research Network on Children’s Human Rights
The Observatory has received funding from the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) to develop a Research Network on children's human rights.
The Research Network
The Research Network is a partnership between Childhood and Youth Studies Research Group (Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh) and the Institute for Inspiring Children’s Futures (Strathclyde University). The core membership of the Observatory provides its steering committee.
The Research Network is supported by the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Research Network grant. It is initially funded for two years starting March 2023.
The Network’s purpose
The Network aims to bring together research expertise with both the lived experiences of children and young people and Scottish policy-makers, practitioners and civil society.
It will:
- Mobilise knowledge and foster spaces to grapple with complex challenges inherent in implementing children’s human rights; and
- Identify progress and challenges in implementing children’s human rights and how to address gaps in particular practices and systems.
We have published a blog delving into the purpose and expected activities of the Network.
