Rights of Children and Young People with Learning Disabilities
Article 23 of the UNCRC says that children with learning disabilities have rights to “…a full and decent life, in conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-resilience and facilitate the child’s active participation in the community”. Hundreds of children and young people with learning disabilities and complex additional needs, and their families, across Scotland need help and support to make their rights real.
