Welcome to the children's parliament

The Children's Parliament provides sustainable and meaningful opportunities for children aged 9 to 14 years old to engage in local, national and international democratic processes.

The Children's Parliament challenges the notion that only the most confident and articulate can understand or participate in our society. It enables children from all backgrounds and of all abilities to work together to share experiences that make active citizenship a reality. You can download our promotional leaflet here.

An independent evaluation of the work of The Children's Parliament was completed by The Global Citizenship Unit at Glasgow University.  You can download this here.

The Children’s Parliament has recently completed a Scottish Government funded project exploring children’s rights in family life. For more on the Wee Democracy Project download our report here.

Working with WWF Scotland, the Children’s Parliament Climate Change Project gave children an opportunity to learn more about Scotland’s changing climate in the light of the Climate Change Bill currently going through the Scottish Parliament. This DVD was produced with the help of the Scottish Government and The David Hume Institute. Other funders were SCCYP and Children in Scotland.

The Children's Parliament is positive about Scotland's children.
