The main focus of the project is to analyse and report quantitative and qualitative aggregated data gathered through an online survey of third sector organisations. This evidence will provide national level insight into how these organisations support children and young people regarding their rights, including identifying gaps, barriers and successes in the sector. The intern will carry out descriptive quantitative analysis and thematic qualitative analysis and produce a concise report for a policy and stakeholder audience.
If capacity allows, the intern will also look to identify and compile relevant information on children and young people’s rights support from other organisations, such as local authorities, law centres and Scottish Public Services Ombudsman to contextualise the third sector findings within this border landscape. The intern may also make recommendations for future data development.
The project offers the opportunity to work closely with the Children’s Right Unit and a highly engaged network of stakeholders. The intern’s insights will directly inform policy and practice development on children’s rights.
