New child protection guide allows arts workers to create safety http://www.childreninscotland.org.uk/html/med_prs.htm
A new child protection guide for the creative community in Scotland has been launched to reflect important developments in legislation and policy.
Creating Safety (2011), produced as a joint venture by Children in Scotland and Creative Scotland, reflects new national guidance on child protection, the introduction of the Protecting of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme, and changing attitudes towards risk assessment.

Creating Safety is useful for anyone working with children and young people in creative activities, from large arts or heritage organisations developing policy and procedures for child protection to volunteers or freelance professional artists working with children and young people. The guide is aimed at for example, a dancer or film-maker setting up a programme of sessions with a youth group, or a storyteller or musician working in an early years setting.
