Professor Kathleen Marshall, named as Scotland's first children's commissioner last week, said there could be benefits to teaming up with her Welsh, Northern Irish and - once the position is created - English counterparts on issues of national importance to young people.
The move could allow the commissioners to better address issues such as immigration, which span the four nations.
"There are no restrictions on me discussing reserved matters, such as immigration, but I won't be able to investigate them, so it could be useful to team up," she said.
Marshall is also toying with the idea of setting up a child rights award in her first year in the post, to recognise individuals and organisations that have made a positive contribution in the area.
"The award would be nominated and selected by young people," she said.
The Scottish Parliament unanimously approved the child law consultant's appointment and the Queen is expected to rubber-stamp the decision within the next few weeks.
Marshall is due to begin her new job on 26 April.
