Today, @allyad.bsky.social, Eurochild Director of Policy, Advocacy & Comms, joined the #ChildRights Unit at @scottishgov.bsky.social to present Eurochild’s work to promote children’s rights. Such a great opportunity to share our experience and learn from each other’s efforts!

Why are so many disadvantaged and SEND learners excluded from the system? Why do so many YP disengage from school? We've had years of people saying curriculum and rigid approaches to behaviour are 'the answer' to solving disadvantage. It's about time we asked if they're part of the problem as well.

Will the 2028–2034 #EUbudget protect #childrights?
Eurochild welcomes the ambition to strengthen the EU budget but we’re concerned about unclear plans for the #EUChildGuarantee, #EUAntiPovertyStrategy & #SocialRights.

We stand with our members in #Hungary!

The Hungarian #ChildRights Coalition condemns the gov't report misrepresenting EU funds as foreign influence. CERV funds support NGOs aiding marginalised groups—filling gaps in public services

They're a pillar of democracy, not an enemy
