Volunteer with Children’s Hearings Scotland (CHS) and make a difference in your community!

CHS is recruiting for volunteer Panel Members across the country to help support Scotland’s infants, children and young people. They are looking for enthusiastic people aged 18 and over who can show empathy, compassion, and great listening skills.
Panel Members are volunteers from local communities who take part in children's hearings. Their role is to listen and make legal decisions with and for infants, children and young people where there are concerns for their wellbeing. Panel Members ensure that the young person is at the heart of every decision made – because every decision, no matter how big or small, has an impact on the life of the child or young person in the hearing.
CHS offer an extensive training programme with a highly experienced team to support your development, who will help you along your journey in becoming a Panel Member.
Applications open 1 September and close at midnight on 6 October.
