Every child in Scotland would be appointed a 'named person' from birth under new legislation
Government plans to provide every child in Scotland with a "named person" have been questioned by MSPs.
Under legislation set out in the Children and Young People Bill, every child would be assigned a named person, such as a health worker, from birth.
The adult would be responsible for safeguarding the child's welfare.
MSPs from Holyrood's Public Petitions Committee pressed Children's Minister Aileen Campbell on how such a measure would work in practice.
SNP MSP John Wilson asked how children would be made aware that they had a named person, and how that named person would be identified to the child. Continue reading the main story “Start Quote
How in practice does that really establish a bond of confidence on which people feel they can rely?”
Jackson Carlaw Conservative MSP
"How do we make sure that this named person is actually identified to the young person, and the young person has the confidence and the ability to actually directly speak to that named individual?" he said.

The teacher said it was a wonderful system, since women would be free to work.
And here we are.
Scotland has a greater reliance on welfare than England. They’re trying to simplify matters by simply assigning a social worker from birth. Unfortunately, it also assumes that every child is a ward of the state from birth and that all parents are incapable of acting without government supervision.
This is one step short of taking children from birth to live in state institutions.
Watch pedophilia and child abuse skyrocket....and the govt refuse to punish “named persons”
A pedophiles wet dream....the govt gives you kids....pedos would love to be named persons
This named custodial, non-parental adult will be, at minimum, 20 years old when the *life-long* relationship begins, or even older. At some point, the assigned watchdog will age out of the system, at minimum by the time the *child* is 40. What happens then? And will the *child* eventually become responsible for the elder care of the watchdog?
Or does *life* mean “until the child is considered adult”?
I am old enough to have watched numerous non-related babies grow to adulthood. Many of these have become adults with whom I no longer care to associate. In most cases, this is despite their well-intentioned parents’ best efforts. So, if this proposal becomes law, when does the watchdog’s responsibility end? And is the relationship strictly one-sided? If so, it isn’t a relationship, per se.
It’s already here. In Minnesota I was on unemployment for 2 months, and that was ten years ago. The nannies are still trying to meddle, and I’m in Texas. So this is the direction it goes. Not only when a child is born a permanent government case is generated, but any time you get anything such as unemployment, disability, or maybe so much as a traffic ticket.
They have the best Government training available. I have the best government military training available. Don’t come to my house.

Oh, but you are still stubborn bast**ds once you get stirred up enough. The thistle is your national symbol, after all. Hopefully, disquiet you describe turns into a shout.
Scotland USSE.
It also implies that you would never move (by the time I was four, I had lived in three foreign countries and four different states - left my birth state at six months and never saw it again until recently. It also implies that the social worker will never change jobs, get ill or die.
Completely impossible to sustain or enforce.
