Children's hearings redesign

Closes 28 Oct 2024

Recording of children’s hearings

Respondents’ views are therefore sought about whether hearings, in full or in part, should in principle be recorded. Comments and suggestions are also invited about the benefits and risks of video, audio or written recordings.  (See section 8.10 of the consultation document)

73. In your view, should children’s hearings be routinely recorded?
74. What are the main benefits and risks of this method of recording hearings?
75. If only the decision element of a children’s hearing were to be recorded, would this change your view?
