As the post of Children and Young People's Commissioner for Scotland turns 18, the three people to have held the role discuss their shared experiences.
Guided by questions from children and young people, Professor Kathleen Marshall, Tam Baillie and current commissioner Bruce Adamson discuss the unique challenges of the Commissioner role, and its strengths as an independent champion for children’s rights.
This second episode explores the changes they've been able to make, and the challenges they have faced along the way.
The podcast was co-produced by John, one of the office’s young advisers. Music was created by young people working with Big Noise, Sistema Scotland. It was produced by Bespoken Media's Amanda Hargreaves with sound design by Joel Cox.
This is the
first time that all three have been together in conversation to discuss the
progress of children’s rights in Scotland, the issues that have endured
throughout the 18 years, the cultural changes in their tenures and the changes
they would still like to see. They discuss the unique challenges of the
role and its strengths as an independent champion for children’s rights.
Issues
covered include putting children’s rights into law, impact of Covid-19,
poverty, access to play, involving children and young people and how Scotland’s
treats children in its criminal justice system.
