Who is CHS?

Children’s Hearings Scotland (CHS) is part of the Children’s Hearings System in Scotland. This system helps keep babies, children and young people safe and well.

Everyone who works at CHS wants all babies, children, young people and their families to be safe, supported and able to reach their full potential.

What does CHS do?

CHS’s job is to recruit, train and support about 2,300 volunteers called Panel Members who listen to your story. Volunteers are everyday people who give up their time to help other people without being paid.

We train our Panel Members to listen to your story in your hearing and to make decisions that respect your rights and help you do well.

CHS make sure hearings put children, like you, first.

Your hearing is all about what you need.
