Website offers safety advice

Safeguarding
A national website offering help on child protection issues and support to vulnerable children and families has launched.

The new site has been created by the Scottish government and includes information on what the public should do if they are concerned for a child’s welfare. 

It also features information and links to downloadable materials for children themselves, including cartoons and online games providing child safety tips.

Minister for children and young people, Aileen Campbell, said: “The Scottish government is committed to ensuring protection is in place for all children at risk and this new site will further strengthen our efforts to make Scotland the best place for children and young people to grow up.

“Children only get one childhood and it should be a special time when they are loved and cherished, kept safe from harm and go on to realise their full potential. This valuable new resource will play a significant part in enhancing child protection across Scotland.”
