Children and Young People
Children and young people are at the very centre of the Children’s Hearings System. The system is there to protect them and keep them safe from harm.
There’s lots of information available written specifically for children and young people. Visit the SCRA website for more information. There’s dedicated sections for children and young people.
Parents and carers
Parents and carers play a key role in the system. It is important they know about their rights in the Hearings System and more importantly, the rights of their child/children or children in their care.
More information for parents and carers, including information about being a Relevant Person and information for foster carers and kinships carers, is available on SCRA’s website.
