The final item of business is a members’ business debate on motion S6M-13063, in the name of Clare Adamson, on child safety week 2024.

The debate will be concluded without any question being put. I invite members who wish to participate in the debate to press their request-to-speak buttons now.

Motion debated,

That the Parliament marks Child Safety Week, the flagship annual campaign run by the Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT), which takes place between 3 and 9 June 2024; understands that the 2024 theme, Safety Sorted!, encourages families to feel confident that, with one small change, they can stop a serious accident and be clear what they need to do to keep children safe; considers that Child Safety Week acts as a catalyst for thousands of safety conversations and activities across Scotland, helping families to build confidence and skills in managing the real risks to children’s safety; believes that child safety is a social justice issue and understands that children living in Scotland’s most deprived communities are more likely to experience preventable accidents than those from the least deprived areas; applauds Child Safety Week’s online resources and activities, which are available free to families and agencies; commends CAPT and other safety organisations for their ongoing efforts to promote the safety and wellbeing of children, and wishes all the organisers and volunteers the best for Child Safety Week 2024.
