NO2NP: Say No to the Named Person scheme

"Every child will be assigned a named person – a health worker or senior teacher – to oversee their upbringing to the age of 18 by 2016. But medical staff are already threatening to report mothers or fathers if they forget to take their children to hospital appointments..."

"The Scottish Government claims the move will ensure potential cases of abuse or developmental difficulties are spotted and acted upon at an early stage..."

"But critics have dubbed it a "Big Brother invasion" and warned that it "undermines the role of parents". There are also fears that parents could be dragged into damaging child protection probes for trivial reasons."

"The five local health authorities with the knowledge and consent of their local authority and of the Scottish Government, who now have Named Persons in place for every child are: Angus; Ayrshire; Edinburgh; Highland; and Stirlingshire."
