Child Protection Improvement Programme
The Scottish Government has published a report setting out the key messages from the Child Protection Improvement Programme since it was set up in February 2016. This includes findings from the Child protection systems review. Broader messages which have emerged include: there is a need to focus more on child protection in the wider context of Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC) and not lose sight of the broader agenda of protecting children beyond the specific requirements of the formal child protection system. A national child abuse prevention plan will be developed to consider the wider population of children in need who sit below the threshold of significant harm.
