Five new priorities which will define the policing approach to keeping Scotland's one million young people and children safe have been announced.

Police Scotland has unveiled a four-year commitment called "Our Approach" which aims to put the safety of young Scots at the heart of the service.

Working with a wide range of partners, Police Scotland's priorities for children and young people are:

- Safety and Protection
- Engagement
- Prevention
- Victims and Witnesses
- Offending

The Approach has been created with the assistance of young people who are members of the Police Scotland Youth Advisory Panel, which is supported by Young Scot.
