Attendance at a Children’s Hearing – information for Social Workers

Important changes have been made to how children, young people, relevant persons and others can attend Children’s Hearings. To support social work colleagues, SCRA has produced a new briefing sheet ‘Attendance at a Children’s Hearing’. It is the information will help social workers understand the options and support families to understand them, so that the best arrangements for the Hearing can be made. If you have any questions about attendance at a Children’s Hearing or about the new powers available from 26 July, please contact a Reporter in your local area. Details are available in the Contact Us section of our website.
