Having been aware of the concerns that children have consistently expressed about alcohol during Children’s Parliament programmes, projects and consultations, Alcohol Focus Scotland asked Children’s Parliament to further explore the views and experiences of children aged 9-11 years old, looking at the impact that alcohol has on children’s lives and what the vision of a childhood free from alcohol might mean for children.

This in turn will result in more childcare options for local families. The area has an approximate population of 21,000 and there are currently no registered Childminders within the Glasgow City Council part of this boundary. Through careful selection and robust support, the partners aim to recruit and train 20 new Childminders by March 2020.
