16 May 2012 -The Scottish Government has agreed to extend the timetable for planned reforms to Scotland’s children’s hearings system following advice from experts within the sector. This revised implementation date, likely to be May 2013, extends the project duration by eight months. Given this, the Board feels it’s appropriate to extend the deadline for the consultation on the draft Code of Practice in relation to children’s cases by four weeks to Monday 18th June.
