National Guidance for Child Protection in Scotland 2010

The Scottish Government has developed new overarching guidance for child protection services in Scotland. This emphasises everyone's responsibility to keep children safe.

The Scottish Government issued a press release on this in December 2010. The guidance document is available here (PDF file 2.24 MB) and it incorporates the Framework for Standards.

This national document provides valuable general guidance but does not replace the Shetland inter-agency Child Protection Procedures. For further information, see www.childprotectionshetland.com
