The Scottish Children's Reporter Administration (SCRA) is a national body in Scotland responsible for the administration of the Children's Hearings System. The SCRA was established in 1994 under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 and plays a crucial role in the protection and welfare of children and young people in Scotland.

Functions

The primary function of the SCRA is to facilitate the work of the Children's Reporter, who is responsible for investigating and deciding whether a child or young person should be referred to a Children's Hearing. The SCRA ensures that the hearings are conducted fairly and that the rights of the child or young person are upheld.

Children's Hearings System

The Children's Hearings System is a unique approach to child protection and youth justice in Scotland. It focuses on the needs and best interests of the child or young person, rather than on the offense or behavior. The system involves a panel of trained laypersons who make decisions about the care and protection of children and young people.

Structure

The SCRA is overseen by a Board, which is appointed by the Scottish Government. The Board is responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the organization. The day-to-day operations are managed by the Principal Reporter, who is supported by a team of Children's Reporters and administrative staff.

Legislation

The work of the SCRA is governed by several key pieces of legislation, including:
