Children in Scotland has welcomed commitments in the Scottish government's new legislative programme to introduce minimum pricing of alcohol and tackle sectarianism, but is disappointed by the two-year delay in presenting a Children's Services Bill.
Chief executive, Bronwen Cohen said: "While there is much to applaud in the new legislative agenda, it is disappointing that manifesto pledges on the development of early years services has translated into a further two-year delay in legislation to encourage an integrated approach to children's services. A much greater sense of urgency is needed."
