Children's Rights in West Lothian

All staff working in West Lothian believe that every child should have the best start in life to enable them to have high aspirations, build the foundations for living well in the future and realise their potential.

In West Lothian we recognise that investment in our children and young people, is one of the most valuable investments we can make. We want to support you to enjoy a safe and rewarding life and grow into an adult who achieves their individual dreams. We are committed to promoting children's rights and participation. We aim to do this by making sure that:

  • You know your rights
  • You are supported to understand these rights 
  • You are encouraged to express your views on things that are important to you
