Family Lawyers in Scotland Celebrate International Day of Families – 15th May 2025
Celebrating Scottish Families, Supporting Their Future
The International Day of Families, which takes place annually on May 15th, encourages us to contemplate the fundamental role that families play in our lives, communities and society as a whole. This day, which was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, serves as a reminder of the changing challenges that families encounter and the diverse forms they take.
This Year’s Theme: Family-Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development
“Family-Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development” is the theme of 2025, which underscores the influence of global trends on families, including technological transformation, demographic shifts, urbanisation and climate change. In our capacity as legal professionals, we are aware of the direct impact of these trends on the lives of individuals and the structures of their families.
A Changing Family Landscape in Scotland and the Wider World
The United Kingdom no longer has a unified definition of what constitutes a family. In the past few decades, there have been significant changes:
- Since 1996, the number of cohabiting couple families has increased by over twofold, making it the fastest-growing family type.
- The number of families with a single parent has increased by more than 15%. The number of married couple families has remained relatively consistent.
Every day, we, as solicitors, interact with families that encompass stepchildren, blended households, unmarried partners and multigenerational living arrangements. What is universal among them is the desire to safeguard their loved ones, and this is where we come in.
