Scottish Child Law Centre (SCLC) description

We are a specialist hub protecting children’s rights across Scotland. Our volunteer solicitors provide free legal advice about child law and children’s rights to realise children’s rights and allow access to justice for children and families when their rights have been breached. We provide specialist training to organisations and schools and use the evidence from our work to influence long term change for children.

Vision

For ‘all children growing up in Scotland to have their rights respected, protected and fulfilled.’

The Centre is going through an exciting period of transition and will shortly be setting up a Community Clinic in Govanhill to provide free legal advice and support to the people who need us most. Our community advice clinic work seeks to remove barriers and further extend our reach, especially in light of the UNCRC Act becoming law in July 2024. This follows a pilot community advice clinic in 2023 which identified multiple and serious breaches of rights, fuelled by an absence of legal aid – particularly amongst the Black, Asian and ethnic minority community. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child cite access to justice and children’s rights training as vital to UNCRC implementation.

Purpose of the role:

As a support worker for the Scottish Child Law Centre, your primary role is to promote and further the rights of children and young people in Scotland, by supporting children and families at our Govanhill Community Clinic. This includes assisting children and families to implement the legal advice they receive at the Community Clinic.
