The Convention states that Governments must value and support parents and other adults in their roles as carers. The Convention recognises that parents and others have a responsibility to listen to you and you to them. Adults must consider your age and understanding when listening and deciding issues. As you get older you will be listened to differently. Children have the right to life and must have the best possible chance to develop fully.
Every child has the right to a name at birth and the right to become a citizen of a country.
You also have a right, as far as possible, to be cared for by your parents. Every child in Scotland has to be registered when they are born. In Scotland, the law recognises that your parents should normally be the people who care for you unless it is not in your interests.
