“As parents and carers, we all want to do the best we can to protect our children, while giving them the freedom they need to develop towards adulthood. Sometimes the world can feel full of risks, some of them understood and others unknown.
In order to strike the right balance between protection and independence for our children, we need the best possible information. This leaflet is for everyone involved in bringing up children. It explains that some children do indeed sexually abuse other children, how we can recognise the warning signs and the action we can take to prevent it.”

“For the purposes of this publication, teenagers and young adults (TYA) are defined as persons between 15 and 24 years of age; the distribution of cancers in this age group differs from that found in both adults and children and a separate classification has been created and accepted internationally. To provide information to support decision making on cancer diagnosis and treatment services available to this age group in Scotland, data in the main publications for this age group have been re-analysed in accordance with the TYA cancer classification system.
In the 30 year period 1979-2008 there were 5,267 cancers diagnosed in persons aged between 15 and 24 years, an average of 176 per year and representing less than 1% of malignant neoplasms (invasive cancers) diagnosed in a given year in Scotland. Incidence has risen over that period, but has been largely stable over the last two 5 year periods with the exception of some specific types of cancer.
The observed survival rate has increased over the same time period: for all cancers combined, survival at one year after diagnosis has increased by 11 percentage points, to approximately 94% of diagnoses, while five year survival has increased by 16 percentage points to 83%.”

“The Department for Education (DfE) appointed Frontier Economics to undertake a cost benefit analysis of drug policy relating to young people. This project is an element of a broader piece of work being carried out by the Centre for Analysis of Youth Transitions.
There are two main elements of the study: understanding the amount that is spent in total and per person on specialist drug and alcohol services for young people in 2008-09; estimating and valuing the benefits of young people’s drug and alcohol treatment – measured as a reduction in the economic and social costs of drug and alcohol misuse.”

“Food is an important part of everyone’s lives. Improvements to the diet of children and young people can positively influence their current and future health, playing an important role in the prevention of diet-related diseases. The consultation report carried out by Who Cares? Scotland – “It’s no like one of those café places where you can order anything you want“, highlighted that children and young people have strong views on the food they like to eat. However, we know from research that children and young people in Scotland, and elsewhere, are not eating enough fruit and vegetables and are eating too much food high in fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar.
For the purpose of this document references to child, children and young people and young people have the same meaning and are interchangeable. This guidance covers residential establishments not included specifically in the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 (the 2007 Act) and includes:

“This compendium of good practice and carers and young carers stories accompanies Caring Together and Getting it Right for Young Carers. It is available online only.
Earlier this year the Scottish Government invited local authorities, Health Boards, the Third Sector and other organisations to submit examples of good practice about support for carers and young carers. We also invited personal ‘stories’ from carers and young carers. We received so many good practice examples and ‘stories’ that we could not include them all within the strategy, although we have referred in the strategy to good practice and have included short quotes from carers and young carers. The Scottish Government and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities ( COSLA) have therefore produced this compendium.”

“Getting it right for every child is a national programme to improve outcomes for all children and young people in Scotland. It threads through all existing policy, practice, strategy and legislation affecting children, young people and families. The approach and National Practice Model have been designed to address any issue affecting a child and young person. The implementation in full of the Values, Principles and Core Components of Getting it right for every child will lead to improved outcomes for children and young people and will ensure that resources are used more effectively and efficiently.”

This guidance is intended to support the work of all those who take part in the assessment and planning process for children and young people, in the provision of resources in the recruitment, assessment and support of carers and those individuals who through kinship, foster-care or adoption offer children and young people on a daily basis, nurture, respect, comfort and all the many experience which will make for a happy childhood and adolescence.”
