Answered by Fergus Ewing on 21 Jul 2009 · 33 days after it was lodged, 5 days after it was due

The Scottish Government recognises that there are a variety of ways in which to address the issue of child safety and is fully committed to promoting the safety of all children and young people in Scotland. This means that child safety is the responsibility of a number of Scottish Government Directorates and our commitment is expressed in a wide range of frameworks, strategies and initiatives including:
The Early Years Framework, Equally Well, Good Places, Better Health, Promoting Positive Outcomes, Scottish Road Safety Framework and Don''t Give Fire a Home.
There are also a significant number of local child safety initiatives, many of which are supported by the Scottish Government. These include Child Safety Week, a safety advice resource, Fire Cadets, school travel plans, Fife Cares child safety service and Buy Wise Be Safe.
