The Children and Young People (Bill) which has just been passed by the Scottish Parliament addresses a number of fundamental issues for Scotland’s children and young people. It will also provide an increased focus on working together across a range of services and professions. This presentation will highlight the main provisions of the Bill: children’s rights; children’s services planning; provision of named persons; information sharing; child’s plan; early learning and childcare; corporate parenting; provision of aftercare to young people; provision of continuing care – looked after children; support for kinship care; Scotland’s Adoption Register; school closure proposals; Children’s Hearing.  This wide ranging Bill will impact the work of all professionals working with children and young people in a variety of ways, and we will highlight the implications for joint working and inter-professional practice.
