This My Health, My Rights Charter has been created by children and young people living with health conditions in Scotland. In no particular order, it shows their 10 most important health rights. They asked for them not to be numbered, as they are all equally important in their own right.

At Children’s Health Scotland, we listen to what children and young people tell us about their health and wellbeing, and support their right to the best possible health. We think this Charter is amazing and send a big thank you to every individual who has helped us to create it.
To create it, children and young people looked for inspiration from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Association of Children in Hospital Charter. We also visited schools and hospitals across Scotland. We’re so proud of this My Health, My Rights Charter – made by children and young people and not by adults. A special thank you to Children’s Health Scotland Health Rights Defenders, Cranhill Primary School, Burgh Primary School, and The Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow for the drawings and words used in this Charter.
We would like to thank the following funders for making this all possible:
