THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH
The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in May 1997 instructed all Kirk Sessions and congregations to
talke all steps necessary to ensure to the best of their ability the protection of children and young people from
abuse or harm. A Policy Statement to this effect was approved by the General Assembly, together with a thirteen point
Code of Good Practice. Kirk Sessions were instructed to adopt and implement both the Policy Statement and the Code.
