Before your Hearing
If you have been asked to go to a Children’s Hearing, you will get a letter from the Children's Reporter to tell you when and where it is. This will be posted to the place where you are staying a few days before your Hearing.
In the pack, you will receive a paper copy of a form called All About Me. You can use this form to say how you are feeling, if you are happy with school and where you are staying or if you have any problems.
The All About Me form is sent to the Reporter who is dealing with your case. The form will then be sent to the Panel Members who you will see at your Hearing. It will also be sent to the relevant persons (such as your parent or your carer). If you don’t want to fill in the form, but still want to have your say, you can write a note or a letter and send it to the Reporter.
Remember, you will of course get the chance to speak at your Hearing. The Panel Members at your Hearing will want to hear from you about how you are and how you are feeling. They might ask you about home and school as well. Remember, it’s your Hearing – it’s all about you!
The pack will tell you when and where your Hearing is, and you can take your All About Me form along to your Hearing, so the Panel Members know how you are.
If you prefer, you can fill this form in online. All you need to do is click on the picture below and you can fill out the form.
