Children’s Hearings Scotland is looking for people who care about making a difference in the lives of children and young people attending hearings in Scotland. As a volunteer Panel Member you can make that difference. Panel Members sit on the Children’s Panel and make high quality decisions with and for children and young people in their local community. What kind of person are we looking for? In a word, you!

There’s no one type of person or background that makes the ideal Children’s Panel Member. You will receive extensive training so that you are fully capable, and comfortable, making decisions at a hearing in the best interest of a child and/or young people. You don’t need to have any specific qualifications, you just need to care.

Children’s Hearings Scotland is dedicated to recruiting a Children’s Panel that represents society, and so to ensure a balanced panel they are looking for people 18 – 30 years old, as well as more people who identify as male. If you are passionate about driving positive change in your local community, then this is a volunteering role tailor made for you!
