Front cover of the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland Annual Report 2024–25. The design features a bright, child-friendly layout with pink connecting lines and colourful icons such as hearts and megaphones. Several photos show children and young people taking part in activities — walking together, sitting around a table, playing outdoors, and filming an interview. The organisation’s logo appears at the top right, and the title “Annual Report 2024–25” is shown at the bottom against a blue background.

Annual Report 2024 – 2025

Summary

Our Annual Report covers the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, marking Commissioner Nicola Killean’s first full year in the role. It reflects a landmark moment for children’s rights in Scotland, with the UNCRC incorporated into Scots law for the first time — the most significant change to the office’s powers since its creation in 2003.
