Consultation has begun on how to improve protection of children and young people as part of the Child Protection review set up earlier this year. The review aims to reduce the number of children abused and neglected in Scotland and to improve the services offered to affected children. Deputy education minister Nicol Stephen said, 'We must ensure that everyone - councils, health boards, voluntary agencies and the police - work better together locally to give the best services to our young people.'
