Children’s hearings are the largest quasi-judicial tribunals in Scotland and constitute the main mechanism by which Scots law deals with both children who are in need of care and protection and children who have committed a criminal offence. This annotated version gathers expert views from an author team of varied disciplines to provide an explanatory guide to the individual provisions of the Act. It is completely up-to-date, including the substantial amendments effected by the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (Modification of Primary Legislation) Order 2013 and Part 16 of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014.

Contents include: • Introduction to the Act • Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 • A comprehensive glossary of words and phrases These annotations provide a one-stop shop for solicitors, social workers, panel members, children’s reporters, safeguarders and other professionals; a must for all involved in children’s hearings at any level.
