The 'named person': surveillance and the wellbeing of children and young people in Scotland.

School of Divinity

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The Scottish Parliament’s ‘Children and Young People’ Bill has extended statutory responsibilities for the welfare of children to include their well-being. This article focuses on the ‘named person’ service, arguing that an attenuated understanding of surveillance by politicians and other stakeholders has contributed to a failure to adequately consider the social control dimensions of this new universal provision.
