SCRA’s vision is that children and young people will be listened to, protected and supported to have a positive future where they are safe, valued and respected.

We are committed to Keeping The Promise. In order for us to demonstrate our commitment, plan our journey and show our activity to get there, SCRA has developed our Keeping the Promise Route Plan. The Route Plan contains the high level activity we will do to Keep The Promise.

Our Keeping The Promise 2021-24 Route Plan contains two interlinked strands of work – Improvement and Reform. Our Route Plan focusses mainly on improvement. SCRA is also actively involved in reform through our work as a member of the Hearings System Working Group. We will work with partners in key organisations and with children and families to redesign the structures, processes and legislation of the Children’s Hearings System.
