Children’s Hearings Scotland published practice guidance for Panel Members on the conduct of virtual Hearings which will now include professionals, such as social workers, legal representatives, and young people and family members. The guidance includes description of the technology being used for these Hearings and how best to manage communication so that everyone can take part. Although it is aimed at Panel Members specifically, the information contained in the Coronavirus Practice Guide will be of interest and useful to anybody attending a virtual Children’s Hearing. You can access it here.
