Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People
Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People (SCCYP) is a post in Scotland whose main task is to promote and safeguard the rights of children and young people. The position, equivalent to the Children's Ombudsman agencies of many other countries, was established by the Commissioner for Children and Young People (Scotland) Act of 2003. Scotland's first Commissioner was Kathleen Marshall who assumed her position in April 2004 and served a five-year term, demitting office in April 2009. The current Commissioner is Tam Baillie who took up the position in May 2009, initially for a two-year term; he was reappointed in 2011 to serve until May 2017.〔(Scottish Parliament Corporate Body ) Annual Accounts 2011-12〕
==Commissioner responsibilities==
The Commissioner must review law, policy and practice relating to the rights of children and young people with a view to assessing their adequacy and effectiveness. Specific regard must be had to any relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially those requiring that the best interests of the child be a primary consideration in decision-making, and that due account be taken of the views of affected children and young people. The Commissioner cannot intervene in individual cases, however these can highlight issues affecting a broader range of children and young people and these issues can be investigated by the Commissioner. After an investigation the Commissioner can make recommendations to the Scottish Parliament on what action they feel is deemed appropriate.
The Commissioner consults with children and young people on a regular basis via the SCCYP website, and through the networks of organisations who work on or on behalf of children and young people. In 2009, the Commissioner's office began to plan a national consultation of children and young people in Scotland called 'a RIGHT blether'. As part of the consultation there will be a national vote in which children and young people will be able to influence the Commissioner's office's work plan for the next four years. Children and young people will vote on what they think the Commissioner should take action on in four key areas: Where I live, where I learn and develop, My neighbourhood or community and Scotland.
The Commissioner's duties apply to all children and young people under 18, and all children and young people up to 21 who have been in care or looked after by a local authority, and are living in Scotland.
