Young people’s views wanted on the Children’s Hearings System
The Scottish Government have commissioned Who Cares? Scotland and social researchers The Lines Between Ltd to gather the views of children and young people who have experience of the Children’s Hearing System (CHS).
The national consultation will focus on advocacy within the Children’s Hearing System in Scotland, with the aim of ensuring that every child has access to advocates who understand their needs, and follow the principles required when working in this area.
Workshops and a short online survey will be used to collect opinions on the role of advocacy in the Hearing’s System.
The online survey is anonymous and will close on January 28.
