It’s a conundrum, like what's the difference between a jeweller and a jailer? One sells watches and the other watches cells. Well, the Place Standard Tool & the Place and Wellbeing Outcomes can also be a real head scratcher.

Incorporating the UNCRC into domestic law is the most important thing we can do to protect children's rights in law, and from today it is a reality in Scotland.
Incorporation is a powerful new tool, and there is a lot of work ahead.
But today should also be about celebration.
After decades of campaigning from children and young people and other #HumanRightsDefenders
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 has received Royal Assent. It will be in force by 16 July 2024.

🧵1/3 NEW PROJECT REPORT: Children and Teenager's Just Transition Plans.
We worked directly with pupils at 12 schools in 2023/24, alongside @_afairerworld and @NESCANhub. Each group created their plan and shared it with adults in their communities.
aplaceinchildhood.org/projec…
2/3 The plans are forming part of wider community deliberations in Huntly, Aberdeen and Banff, and a Community Action Plan in Inverurie.
Our ambition is to support the children and young people further in taking their projects forward.
