in which government can ensure that the needs and aspirations of
Scotland's children, young people and their families are addressed.

councils, all the major voluntary children's agencies, professional
associations, academic institutions and a range of locally-based
community groups and service
providers. The factsheets cover:
Strategy, structures, legislation
Supporting families
Recognising diversity and promoting equal opportunities
Supporting children and families in the early years
Preparing for adult life
Also included is a separately published Special Needs Manifesto, and
an Executive Summary.
