Children in Scotland magazine
Children in Scotland, the organisation’s monthly subscription magazine has become the indispensable aid to keeping abreast of news, views and events that matter to everyone working with or for children, young people and their families in Scotland.

At the centre of the country’s largest multi-agency network of child education, health and social care professionals, Children in Scotland brings you information and analysis on legislation, policies, research, good practice and much, much more. Drawing on the views of key decision and policy makers, professionals, practitioners, children, young people and families, the magazine covers a range of topics each month.
