Who are we?
2008 marked the fifteenth anniversary of Children
in Scotland, the united voice of over 400 voluntary, statutory and professional
organisations and individuals working with and for children, young people
and their families throughout Scotland. Children in Scotland is a unique
forum for sharing and exchanging skills and expertise, combining knowledge
and experience to make Scotland a better place for all children and young
people.
The organisation was established in 1983 as the Scottish
Child and Family Alliance and changed its name
in June 1993 to Children
in Scotland: working for children and their families (Clann an Alba).
It currently has over 400 members from all over Scotland.
Children in Scotland is funded by its members, by grants from the Scottish
Government, by voluntary agencies, local authorities, corporate trusts and
individual donations.
A wide range of funders is essential to ensure its effectiveness
and independence in speaking out for Scotland’s children, young people
and families.
Children in Scotland works in partnership with the National
Children’s Bureau and Children
in Wales.
