Welcome to the Child Protection Scottish National Clinical Guidelines website, which was established in 2020. This website has been developed in collaboration with Consultant Paediatricians, Paediatric Trainees, Lead Nurses for Child Protection and the Managers for the Managed Clinical Networks for Child Protection, to develop consistent, National Guidelines utilising the best available evidence around child protection.

Our mission is that all children, young people, their families and carers all have access to the same standard of care, no matter where they live in Scotland.

We hope you will find the guidelines you require to support the management of Child Protection.
