In 2022 Children’s Hearings Scotland (CHS) on behalf of our volunteers and staff community submitted a response to the Hearing System Working Group’s (HWSG) issue list. Within the response we highlighted that a further period of consultation would be undertaken to enable more focussed discussion around key themes that were felt to require further exploration. The Phase 2 programme was a deeper consultation on key themes. The sessions were designed to allow more time for people to re-connect with the vision for change; think about the future role of the tribunal member; explore key questions; share their own experiences; listen to other people’s views; generate solutions and record different and divergent views.
