Children (Equal Protection from Assault) (Scotland) Bill Stage 1 Report - Call for views
Among the key points made by organisations and individuals in support of the Bill were:
Physical punishment of children is not acceptable
Retention of the defence of reasonable chastisement is contrary to Scotland's commitment to human rights and ambition to be the best place for a child to grow up
At present adults and children do not have equal protection under the law relating to assault
Children are more vulnerable and therefore need additional protections

Ending physical punishment of children sends a clear message that violence is not tolerated in Scotland
There is a lot of international precedent and Scotland is behind in its approach

Scottish population growth is 99.8% of the rate of growth in England and Wales
so, in 2020/21 £506m is transferred (i.e £500m * 1.014 * 0.998)
Example continued: Year 2 transfer
the OBR forecasts that UK government spending on that benefit in England and Wales will increase by 1% in 2021
Scottish population growth continues to be 99.8% of the rate of growth in England and Wales
so, for 2021/22 the Scottish Government will get...

It is a challenge because it involves a much more difficult approach to timetabling, but it is possible.

Pre-budget scrutiny report - FSS outcomes
Outcomes should, to some degree, take into account what’s important to the individual and they – and the social enterprises that support them – should not be penalised or their outcome minimalised if a job is not a realistic outcome for some people.iWritten evidence
