E J Carroll has been asked to join the Human Rights Action Group, alongside the Children and Young People's Commissioner for Scotland, to deliver their Promote, Protect and Defend report, which is a call to the Scottish Government to allow children and young people to know their rights and how to act on them.
Last year, E J was one of the youngest people to present evidence to the UN Committee Against Torture, with topics of conversation including the incorporation of the UN's Convention of the Rights of the Child into Scottish domestic law, the age of responsibility and equal protection for children.
Here, E J shares her personal experiences with the social work system.
