On 29 October 2019 we (Children’s Hearings Scotland) published our second annual Impact Report (for 2018-19) which recognises and acknowledges the hard work and amazing contribution our 3,000-strong Panel and AST community and National Team make to the children’s hearings system.

The 2018-19 Impact Report celebrates the impact that volunteers have by carrying out a range of roles and outlines the work that Children’s Hearings Scotland and the CHS Learning Academy have undertaken to recruit, train and support these volunteers. Collaboration and partnership are key themes this year, and we would like to thank everyone, within our community, and externally who has worked with the team throughout the year.

Volunteering is central to the ethos of the children’s hearings system and we want to say a huge thank you to each of our volunteers for their dedication and commitment to making high quality decisions with, and for, infants, children and young people attending hearings in Scotland.
