About us
Our strength lies in the connections we’ve built with our members, partners, the government, and most importantly, with children and young people themselves. These relationships, alongside our broad knowledge and experience, allow us to offer trusted support and work for meaningful, lasting change.

There are six key areas that we focus on:
- Making sure that children and young people’s views will be listened to, taken seriously, and acted upon

- Maintaining and building on a strong and effective network with a vibrant membership at its core
- Leading and developing the children’s sector workforce
- Influencing policymakers to deliver on our Manifesto priorities
- Being an environmentally and financially sustainable organisation
Grounded in children’s rights
All of our work is underpinned by the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and we’re a member of Together, an alliance of children’s charities in Scotland that works to improve the awareness, implementation, and understanding of the UNCRC.
