When proceedings involve children, these are usually dealt with through the Children’s Panel system.
Common examples include when it is suspected that a child is at risk of danger or harm, when the Panel are asked to consider removing them to an alternative place of safety or care. Or if a child commits criminal offences, but they are under the age to be formally prosecuted in Court, the Panel are also asked to deal with these sorts of cases.
We provide advice and representation to all parties involved in the Children’s Hearings process, whether that be the child itself, its parents, or any other relevant persons. We represent parties at the Panel itself, and also in the Courts, if the Panel decides to refer any particular case to a Sheriff for additional consideration.
