Scotland has a very special system for making decisions about children at risk or in trouble – the Children’s Hearing System and our Panel Members are exceptional. They support infants, children and young people in local communities across Scotland. The role of a Panel Member is to listen and make legal decisions with and for infants, children and young people. They are there to ensure that the young person is at the heart of every decision taken – because every decision, no matter how big or small, has an impact. Panel Members are appointed for a three year period. As a trainee volunteer Panel Member you must be committed to comprehensive training over a three month period. At the end of your initial training you’ll gain a Professional Development Award for ‘Children’s Hearings in Scotland: Panel Members’. It is a unique award that is verified by the Scottish Qualifications Authority, and is one of the few awards available just for volunteers. We are looking for good listeners, people who are caring, compassionate and reliable. You need to be over 18 and live and/or work in the local authority area in which you wish to volunteer. Applications need to be received by February 9th. Apply online https://chscotland.gov.uk/
