In September 2019, the Scottish Government published the Children (Scotland) Bill, introduced by Justice Secretary Humza Yousef. This Bill is, in part, a response to the detailed and lengthy consultation on the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 carried out by the Scottish Government over the summer of 2018, seeking input on a wide range of matters concerning children and families.
