Introduction

The Act should be seen within the broad context of legislation and policy which supports children and families. In particular, it reflects the vision of Scottish Ministers that Scotland’s children and young people will become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors by being safe, nurtured, active, healthy, achieving, included, respected and responsible. Some of the main themes of the Act and how these complement other legislation and policies are set out in this Annex.
