To make sure that the service you receive from us is the very best it can be, we (SCRA and CHS) have developed a shared set of aims.
Our Corporate Parenting aims:
- You are at the centre of the Children’s Hearings System and are treated as an individual.
- The decisions that may affect you are based on sound knowledge, clear evidence and with consideration of your views.
- Your corporate parents will work together to make the Hearings System work better for you.
- We will keep asking ourselves if the way that we do things is the best it can be.
