Consultation on the draft standards for Scotland’s Bairns’ Hoose, a model that supports a child-centred response to health and justice for victims or witnesses of serious crime and abuse, is now open.
Working with CYCJ’s participation team and funded by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, children and young people were consulted on the draft standards and how these should look.
You can read the Draft Standards here – there is a full version and a shorter, child-friendly version.
To support the consultation on the Bairn’s Hoose draft standards, CYCJ has also produced a report sharing children and young people’s views on how the Bairns’ Hoose can be as helpful as possible for children in Scotland who have been victims of harm, as well as children under 12 whose actions might have caused harm.
‘Hear Us, Make Changes’ has been co-produced with children and young people who have experienced harm or conflict with the law.
Please help us get the Bairns’ Hoose right for everyone who needs it, by giving feedback on this important consultation and encouraging others to do so.
