Year of Young People 2018

Year of Young People 2018 is an opportunity for generations to come together and celebrate our nation’s young people. Lets make a difference with Scotland Year of Young People and think about child safety.

One of the lead themes of the Year of Young People is ‘Health and Wellbeing’ making sure young people have the chance to lead healthy, active lives and understand the importance of mental health and resilience.

There are three main youth organisations Children in Scotland, Scottish Youth Parliament and Young Scot. We are calling on them to support out petition to Keep Children in Scotland Safe by asking Maree Todd MSP, Minister for Childcare and Early Years, to guarantee all Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) Providers have at least one member of staff on duty with a 12 hour Paediatric First Aid certificate – when children are in nursery, at play group or on school trips.

Why should young people in school not be looked after safely and effectively? Look at our blog to find out why this is an important issue, or sign our petition to ask the government to make sure every setting where children are looked after have staff on hand to deal with medical emergencies such as choking.
