UNCRC Symbols – British Sign Language

This symbols resource has been designed to increase knowledge and understanding of children’s rights within the UNCRC. Children, young people and adult practitioners helped us to adapt 42 articles of the UNCRC into symbols. All children should be able to access information about their own rights in their own language and we have produced this resource in BSL to support young BSL users to explore rights in their first, or preferred language.

Our British Sign Language (BSL) Plan 2024-30

British Sign Language (BSL) is the primary language for many children and young people in Scotland and it is crucial that children and young people are supported to access the language of their choice at any age. Our BSL Plan sets out actions we will take to promote and protect the rights of young BSL users, how we will involve them in our work, as well as promote the use of BSL and to improve access to information and services for BSL users.

An illustrated image shows five smiling children standing together in a colourful field of wildflowers. They hold a large white banner with the Gaelic words “A’ coimhead air ar còraichean,” meaning “Let’s explore our rights.” The children are cheerful and diverse, two holding shields that read “Gleidh” and “Dìon,” which translate to “Protect” and “Defend.” The background shows bright flowers and a soft blue sky, creating a joyful and inclusive atmosphere celebrating children’s rights in Gaelic.

Coimhead air ar Còraichean (Let’s Explore Our Rights)

The book, beautifully illustrated by Corinna Campbell and available in both Gaelic and English, takes young children on a journey to discover rights such as having a safe home, the right to be healthy, to learn, and to play. An audio and video version of the book has been recorded by Mirabelle, a 10-year-old pupil from Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce P6. She mentioned that it was fun to read the book and appreciated that it is available in both Gaelic and English. Commissioner Nicola Killean emphasized that “Let’s Explore Our Rights” explains to very young children the importance of rights in a way they can understand.
