"Inspiration is out there if you look and I recently went looking for it in the northern area of Norway. There I was very impressed with the way in which the local authority had taken steps to develop a comprehensive upbringing plan to create the best possible environment for all children and young people to grow up in. The partners in this plan include schools, kindergartens, health services, social work, libraries, culture, sport and leisure. All working together to provide excellent services for all children and families."- Adam Ingram, MSP, Minister for Children and Early Years (2007-2011)
