What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

Children’s Health Scotland exists to ensure every child and young person in Scotland has the right to the best possible health. We do this by informing, promoting, and campaigning on their healthcare needs and rights, especially those with health conditions or care experience. Our services include Self-Management Skills Programmes, health-related play, tailored support for carers, and rights-based education. We are proudly child-led through our Health Rights Defenders—young volunteers who shape our resources, events, and advocacy. We work in partnership with families, professionals, and national bodies to influence policy and deliver inclusive, trauma-informed services that empower children to understand and act on their health rights.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises. If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

its annual report and full accounts, if submitted after 9 March 2026
