The EIS teaching Union said named person was originally conceived as a "genuine attempt to ensure that the protection for vulnerable and at-risk Young People from the whole of Scotland was as robust as it could be, to ensure that children through the cracks in The System , and the strengthening of support for people with needs that require a multi-Agency approach.
