Voice

Your voice matters. Grown-ups should listen to children when they make decisions about their care. That means asking, listening properly, and doing something about what you say.

Children must be heard in all of the decisions about their care.
💭 Your turn!

When grown-ups make decisions that affect you, do they listen?

If you could tell grown-ups one thing about how to listen better, what would it be? (You can skip this!)

Family

Children should be able to stay with their family whenever it is safe to do so. If they can't, they should still keep close to brothers, sisters, and people they love.

Where children are safe in their families and feel loved, they must stay— and families must be given support together to nurture that love.
💭 Your turn!

Who are the people who feel like family to you? (They don't have to be related!)

Care

When children need care, it must be full of love. They should feel safe, happy, and able to grow up with people who really care about them.

Where children are not safe with their families, they must experience a loving home.

People

The grown-ups who care for children should be kind, well-trained and supported. Teachers, social workers, carers — all the helpers — need to be brilliant at their jobs and care deeply.

The children Scotland cares for must be supported to develop relationships with people in the workforce and the wider community.
💭 Your turn!

Think of a grown-up who is GREAT at their job with kids. What makes them so good?

Scaffolding

"Scaffolding" is a funny word — it means all the help and support around you, like the bars that hold up a building. Schools, doctors, social workers, clubs — they should ALL be ready to help when needed.

Children, families and the workforce must be supported by a system that is there when it is needed.
💭 Your turn!

Imagine you could ADD one new thing to your school, town or neighbourhood that would help kids. What would it be?

🎉 You did it, !

All 5 stickers collected. One last big question before we celebrate...

🌟 The Big Question

If you could change ONE thing to make Scotland a better place to grow up, what would it be?

🎂 How old are you? (Optional)

🔒 Your answers help grown-ups make Scotland better for kids. We don't ask for your address, school or anything that could identify you. Make sure a trusted adult is OK with you sharing your answers.
