Government acts

The Scottish Government yesterday revealed three manifesto commitments on child protection.

The three new documents are: The National Framework for child protection learning and development; the Risk Assessment Framework; and Child Protection Guidance for health professionals.

Aileen Campbell, Minister for Children and Young People, said: "Ensuring protection is in place for all children or young people at risk from neglect or harm is vitally important."
