Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People Kathleen Marshall has today announced she will not seek a new term of office when her current tenure expires in April of next year. 

The Scottish Parliament Corporate Body will recruit her successor.

Marshall said of her decision:

“It has been a great privilege to be Scotland’s first Commissioner for Children and Young People.  I hope I have made a difference to the lives of children, especially those whose rights were most under threat, such as asylum seekers, children with disabilities and those in care. However, I believe ten years would be too long to stay in the post. This seems the right time to step down as it is a natural break and the office is ready to consult on a new set of priorities.”
