Here you can read a summary of the European-wide results.
Scotland
The Report Card summarising Scotland's performance in the European initiative to have Child Safety Action Plans in each of 18 countries shows that Scotland has done a good job of addressing safety issues for children and adolescents in many areas. Scotland also currently has excellent capacity to address child safety however it has been noted that stronger leadership from government is required.
