cl@n childlaw Edinburgh and the Lothians
Patron: Sheriff Gail Patrick
We are an ambitious, exciting and unique outreach law centre, delivering free legal advice and representation to children and young people in Edinburgh and the Lothians. We aim to give practical effect to Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, enabling children to participate fully in decision making processes which affect them and allowing their views to be heard. We help Children & Young People up to the age of 18, or 21 if they have been Looked After Children.

We have helped the Scottish Government to prepare a booklet called "What can I do at my Age?/At what age can I...?". It tells you what children and young people can do at their age from 0 - 21. You can download a copy of the booklet from the Scottish Government's website by following this link:
