The Government should end the postcode lottery when it comes to identifying children at risk of exploitation and offering support, says The Children's Society.

A survey  shows that the government's suspension of free and discounted travel for children and young people in London will force some families to cut back on daily living expenses and restrict children’s access to family, friends and out-of-school activities.

Deputy First Minister John Swinney said the Bill will build children’s rights into the fabric of decision making in Scotland.

The law will help prevent new cases of statelessness arising for children born to people who are undocumented or whose nationality is undetermined.
