@ScotGovEdu @NatalieDon_ @scotgov Having chaired a few hearings in the new space, I feel is far more inclusive and welcoming than the space before. Although it is still a formal process it is less daunting for the child or young person and there family and feels like we are having more of a chef more of a chat
