Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon came under fire in late March for claiming that the Named Person scheme is ‘not compulsory’, despite her Government saying exactly the opposite.
Simon Calvert, spokesman for No to Named Persons (NO2NP), said: ‘She may be the only person in Scotland who doesn’t know that the Named Person scheme contains no opt-outs and no provision for parental consent.’
A recent poll revealed that almost two-thirds of Scottish people believe that the Named Person policy is an ‘unacceptable intrusion’.
