Gordon from OHOV attended #TheRightStart conference run by @starcatchersuk.bsky.social , @together-sacr.bsky.social and Children in Scotland. All children have agency and influence the world, regardless of age. The onus is on adults to create environments where all children are heard!
What a fantastic day at #TheRightStart conference today!
Inspiring speakers and workshops and a great opportunity to slow down and spend the day thinking about and discussing babies’ rights.

“Throughout our investigations, babies demonstrated sophisticated ways of expressing their views and preferences. For example, at Starcatchers, babies as young as six months showed clear reactions to different environments and activities through their engagement signals. However, parents and caregivers suggested these expressions are not always recognised or valued by service providers and decision-makers.”
Babies communicate their needs through movements, expressions & sounds. But are we listening?

"Anyone who has spent any time in the company of a newborn baby or infant will know that they are born ready to communicate. Unfortunately, across society we struggle to think of babies as rights holders. Perhaps this is because they can't share their views in the same ways as older children (i.e it's not as easy to ask them what they are thinking or feeling.) or maybe it's because they are so reliant on other people (often parents of carers) to have their rights fulfilled. It's possibly a bit of both. As children's rights come into sharper focus with the introduction of the UNCRC into Scottish Legislation, it's really time we tackle this issue

"Myth: Babies are too young to understand that they have rights. Reality One thing that sets this age group apart from others is that babies and young children are accompanied by a caregiver(s) to help them access and participate in a creative experience. As such, the significant adults in their lives become an integral part both of their participation experience and of their "voice" at this stage." Two circles and Starcatchers, Children in Scotland and Together logo.

The significance of an adult in a baby & young child’s life is an integral part in supporting young children to realise their rights
