Guest TPAFKATS Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 It was meant to provide additional safety for children.I'd like our opposition parties to work constructively on legislation at Scottish Parliament which will benefit Scotland and its people, instead of seeking to score cheap political points.They done the same with OBFA.

Then why has there not been a public outcry or a push from the SNP to save the legislation?They KNOW it is not manageable or widely supported!People involved in child protection have said as much!Better cutting losses and saving damage to the system through something well intended but not thought out!Example?Opposite end of the scale... Dementia.Scottish Government legislated that every person diagnosed with dementia was entitled to a full years post diagnostic support from a named nurse.Well meaning and idealistic.Also harmful!Our local CPNs gave 6 monthly visits to people with dementia and their carers.Great system. Working well.New legislation passed.No additional funding.No additional hours.Community Health Team pulled all six monthly visits to concentrate on the post diagnostic support.Surprise.... Much of it is rejected as people are not ready for intensive support at that stage.Meantime... People in dire need of support are left wanting as Government targets have to be met!Childcare has been spared this yet you see it as an attack on the infallible masters!Shame on you.

That's a rant and a half and right at the end we see why #snpbadI'll try one last time to repeat my point.No party in holyrood voted against this - torys abstained and rest voted in favour.I don't think it's good for political parties to decide not to do something positive for children's wellbeing as its "a minefield"They should work together to get a workable solution.Lastly, many organisations who work in this area were in favour of the legislation. This might be why there are versions of it already in place across Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
