How Scottish law deals with children, particularly the protection of children, is an area of increasing importance to professionals working with children. Addressing the major changes in the law introduced by the Children (Scotland) Act 1995, this text provides practical guidance in all aspects of children's rights under Scottish law. It examines the structure and ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the proposals for reform in the light of the Convention.
