If your family lives in Scotland, do you know that they will soon be subject to the Named Person law? Every child in the land will have a Named Person - usually a senior teacher or health visitor - who can override any decisions your family make about their children. In some areas, young children have already been asked intrusive questions about themselves and their family life. There's no opt out. If a family refuses to co-operate they're likely to be considered by the State to be poor parents. Children will be told that it's OK to keep secrets from their parents. Many parents are very alarmed about this - especially since one Named Person has just been exposed and jailed as a sex offender. Another concern is that it will divert resources away from those children who really need support. Do you think this is a good thing? There's a campaign group where you can get more information: NO2NP.org
