Children 1st

[1] The official history of the society ignores the role of Emma Stirling which the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography believes may be due to her gender or a legal dispute, but it was Stirling who created the first, and later eight homes for abused and neglected Scottish children in 1884.Although the two charities are completely separate organisations, they work together to improve the lives of children and families throughout the UK.In 1968 new legislation gave responsibility for investigating child abuse to local authority social work departments.As a result, the role of the Royal Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children changed.The first Kilts for Kids event was launched in Glasgow on 19 September 2008 with the support of media personality Kaye Adams, and comedians Karen Dunbar and Sanjeev Singh Kohli.
