Substantive vs procedural decisions

Substantive vs Procedural decisions (See section 8.8 of the consultation document)

67. Should children’s panel members or chairing members, for certain procedural decisions, be able to take decisions without recourse to a full three member children’s hearing?
68. Are there other areas you would consider appropriate for a single-member decision making approach?
69. Would you propose additional safeguards to accompany these proceedings and decisions?
