Getting it Right approach. Opposition to named person requirement of GIRFEC Under GIRFEC each child in Scotland will be assigned a "Named Person". The Named Person is intended to be a clear point of contact if a child, young person or their parents want information or advice, or if they want to talk about any worries and seek support. The Named Person will usually be the health visitor for a pre-school child and a promoted teacher - such as a headteacher, or guidance teacher or other promoted member of staff - for a school age child. Criticism of the Named Person requirement (referred to as a "state guardian" in some media) has been aired in some press, newspaper columns, and by home educators, churches, various opposition MSPs and lawyers. Concerns expressed by home educators included: the "Named Person" requirement not being an opt-in service; "wellbeing" may be subject to the bias of the Named Person; and personal data is gathered and shared. In July 2014 a campaign group lodged legal papers at the Court of Session, challenging the Named Person plans. In January 2015 this legal challenge was dismissed, with the judge explaining that the case "fails on all points". An appeal against this dismissal was heard by Lord Carloway in the Court of Session in June 2015. Lord Carloway also dismissed the concerns raised by the campaign group saying "It [the creation of a Named Person] has no effect whatsoever on the legal, moral or social relationships within the family. The assertion to the contrary, without any supporting basis, has the appearance of hyperbole." UK Supreme Court ruling On 28 July 2016, the UK Supreme Court ruled against some aspects of the scheme. Judges said that some proposals breach rights to privacy and a family life under the European Convention on Human Rights. While they said that the aim of the Act is "unquestionably legitimate and benign" they also said that specific proposals about information-sharing "are not within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament" and that the legislation made it "perfectly possible" that confidential information about a young person could be disclosed to a "wide range of public authorities without either the child or young person or her parents being aware". The Scottish government says it will not commence the legislation until the criticisms are addressed, delaying the implementation until after the end of 2016. See also Every
