The Scottish Government has recently launched a new child protection resource called Keeping Children Safe in Scotland.
It includes guides for children, young people, and families who may become involved in the child protection process.
This website has been created to provide information about keeping younger children and young people safe in Scotland. It includes separate sections for children, young people and parents or carers.
The resource has been developed alongside children and families in Scotland.
With tailored information to support appropriate age groups, the resource explores the topics
- What does safe mean?
- How do adults work together to keep children and young people safe
- What does being unsafe look like?
- Getting help and support
- Children’s hearings
- Further support for children, young people, parents and carers
The support provided is part of the Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) policy – the national approach in Scotland to improving outcomes and supporting the wellbeing of our children and young people by offering the right help at the right time from the right people.
