Progressing the human rights of children in Scotland: report 2018 to 2021 - easy read

Children's Rights and the Coronavirus Pandemic

Coronavirus is one of the most difficult things the world has had to cope with.

We have made sure that children's rights are at the heart of the Scottish Government's response to the Coronavirus crisis. We have done this while protecting those at risk.

The Scottish Government listened to the views of children and young people when we decided how best to keep everyone safe.

We provided £25 million so that school-aged children could be digitally connected. This means having access to the internet.

We also provided £20 million to help children and their families to play and socialise during the summer holidays.
