02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Established in 1996, Children’s Parliament is dedicated to the realisation of children’s human rights in Scotland. We work with children up to the age of 14. We work in both general and targeted ways. Our targeted programmes involve children who face challenges in their lives and include children who are seldom heard. We use creative approaches in all of our work, these offer children the chance to participate in ways that are fun and at a level best suited to their ability and interests.
