Our aim is to work together to improve outcomes for children and young people who come to a children's hearing. Our Community includes close to 3000 people and comprises a variety of different roles: The national Children's Panel is the largest tribunal in Scotland, comprising 2,500 panel members. Panel members are volunteers from local communities across Scotland who are recruited and trained to make decisions to help the lives of vulnerable children and young people attending children's hearings. Area Support Team members are also volunteers from local communities, recruited to support panel members in their area and carry out functions on behalf of the National Convener. Each AST is supported by a Clerk who is employed by the local authority. The CHS Training Unit is run in partnership with West Lothian College. The CHS Training Unit is set-up to deliver consistent, high quality training to new and existing panel and AST members. The CHS National Team supports the delivery of National Convener functions related to the recruitment, selection, training, retention and support of Children's Panel members. We have a team of 22 with both permanent and temporary staff, which includes the National Convener/Chief Executive and a senior management team. We have a Board comprising six members, which sets strategic direction and provides governance and challenge to CHS. Through the Board, CHS is accountable to Scottish Ministers.
