Our Behaviours

Our values are the shared motivations, beliefs and behaviours that underpin all that we do.

  • Supportive: We work with kindness to support children, young people and families our partners and each other
  • Child Centred: Children and young people are at the heart of everything we do
  • Respectful: Everyone is respected and treated fairly, inclusively and lawfully
  • Accountable: We are responsible for our decisions, our ethics and our learning

Our Customer Commitment

SCRA is committed to improving our service to all our customers. Providing a good level of service to our customers is really important to us – primarily to ensure the children and young people involved in the Children’s Hearings System have the best experience they can realistically have, at what is likely to be a very difficult time for them.

Therefore, we have a customer charter – ‘Our Customer Commitment’ – it sets out what a customer can expect from SCRA and it includes the level of co-operation we expect from our customers in return. It also includes our pledge to customers.

We also have a Communications Commitment and Participation Pledge aimed at children and young people setting out how we will communicate with children and young people.

We aim to ensure that our communications with children and young people are clear and understandable ~ that we provide accurate and helpful information and that ~ we are easy to contact and available to answer any questions.
