'The Scottish Government has decided that every child in Scotland must be allocated a state-employed ‘‘named person” who is responsible for the child’s ‘wellbeing’. These blanket measures will operate regardless of whether welfare concerns exist. Many are deeply worried about how this proposal could undermine parental rights and disrupt family life. If you share these concerns, or want to learn more, please attend this crucial conference featuring those from journalism, academia, education, politics, and religious backgrounds, as well as parents'.
