NSPCC Scotland said the money is “vital” to ensure newborns have the best start in life. It wants the Scottish government elected in May to commit to providing the £100 million Fair Start Fund to be invested in public services, to ensure all young children receive nurturing care and thrive rather than just survive.

Number of homeless children in Glasgow almost doubles

In just four years, the number of young people residing in temporary accommodation has almost doubled. Figures have revealed that as of March 2020, 2385 children were deemed as homeless in Glasgow. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has called on the Scottish Government to step up in ensuring that those falling into homeless accommodation are provided with enough money to live with dignity . Joanna Barrett, NSPCC Scotland policy and public affairs manager, said: “These figures give a deeply concerning picture of the rising number of families facing destitution in Glasgow over the past four years. “Our own research has shown that years of austerity have had a harrowing impact on vulnerable families in Scotland, with some families struggling to obtain secure housing, adequate food and basic necessities.

With schools closed during lockdown, protecting vulnerable children from abuse is harder – NSPCC Scotland

Policy-makers are not oblivious to this risk; that’s why during both lockdowns, schools have remained open to “vulnerable children”, as well as those of key workers, in an attempt to ensure some continuity of support. But is this enough? During the first lockdown, we voiced our deep concern that extremely few vulnerable children were attending education hubs. While schools were closed last year, official data shows no more than 4.5 per cent of an estimated 97,000 vulnerable children in Scotland attended a hub on any single day. Surely, we have learnt lessons from last year when we know the risk of harm to children across the country increased, when schools were closed and access to support was hugely reduced.
