Abstract
There is debate in many countries, including Norway, over how to ensure that children and young people are protected from abuse and neglect in a manner consistent with their and their families’ human rights. In the light of that, it may be instructive to reflect on recent experience in Scotland when the government sought to take child protection to a new level by introduction of what was known as the “named person service”.
