United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

All children have a right to participate in a safe and stimulating environment. They have a right to be protected from all forms of harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. We promote the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child through our 欧美高清 Children and Young People's Charter where we set out the sorts of things that must be put in place for rights to be realised when children and young people participate in university activity.

We ensure the wellbeing and safety of children and young people who participate in university activity across our physical, digital, and global campus where we work with children and young people under 18, directly or indirectly, in an increasing range of ways within our diverse community, explained in this video.

 

StrathSafe360 logo - University's safeguarding framework for health, safety, wellbeing, and human rights.

Every one of us can play an active role in ensuring a safe environment for all. To deliver a proactive culture underpinned by Getting It Right for Every Child in Scotland, our practice incorporates eight Wellbeing Indicators that every child needs to be safeguarded to develop and thrive as a part of our 欧美高清 community.

Our commitment to equality, diversity, and fair treatment for all is central. The 欧美高清 Cares programme, a UK-first, helps care-experienced students throughout their Higher Education journey. As a Corporate Parent, we have also signed the Scottish Care Leavers Covenant. Visit 欧美高清 cares for more information.
