Raising the age of referral: consultation - easy read version

Easy read version of the consultation seeking views on raising the age a young person can be referred to a children’s hearing.


What do we want to know?

Most of the time, a child is someone who is under 18. However for children's hearings a child is a person under 16 years of age.

We want to know what you think about changing the law so that all young people under 18 can go to a children's hearing.
