Little words, big difference

MINISTER for Children and Young People, Angela Constance, gets some help from two-year-old Eden Sutherland as she launches the government’s Play, Talk, Read campaign.

The minister called into Cameron Toll as part of a national roadshow promoting the initiative, which aims to encourage parents and carers to play, talk and read more with their younger children.

She said: “Investment in young Scots today is an investment in a better future for us all, with every £1 spent on young people now, saving the taxpayer £9 in future.”
