Abstract
There is debate in many countries, including Norway, over how to ensure that children and young people are protected from abuse and neglect in a manner consistent with their and their families¡¯ human rights. In the light of that, it may be instructive to reflect on recent experience in Scotland when the government sought to take child protection to a new level by introduction of what was known as the ¡°named person service¡±.
