OHOV and Sheriff David Mackie: Young people and the redesign

  • Summary

  • Children in Scotland currently go to hearings made up of volunteer panel members because they have come into conflict with the law, or for a range of welfare or protection reasons. The Independent Care Review found that many children and families often had difficult and challenging experiences where they had to retell difficult and harrowing stories during their experiences as part of the Childrens Hearing System. This led to the establishment of the Hearing Systems Working Group to oversee a significant redesign process for The Children’s Hearings System and deliver the transformational change required by The Promise.

    Listen to two members of Our Hearings Our Voice - Our Hearing Our Voice, an independent board for children and young people from across Scotland between the ages of 8-18, who have experience with the Children’s Hearings System – discuss their experiences of the project with the Chair of the Group Sheriff David Mackie, and Fi McFarlane of The Promise Scotland.
