Film for parents or carers with learning disabilities
Finding out your child or children will be going to a Children's Hearing can be tough. But when you, as the parent or carer has a learning disability, it can be a really confusing time.
The Scottish Children's Reporter Administration (SCRA) has put together together a film to help. The film explains the process of a children's hearing and explains step-by-step what will happen in the run up to, and on the day of the hearing, and let's you know where to go to get more help and advice, if you need it.
The film features two actors with learning disabilities from the Lung Ha Theatre Company in Edinburgh and a young actor from the Scottish Youth Theatre.
The film is also available with subtitles and with sign language.
Watch the film on the SCRA website.
The film covers getting a letter from the Reporter, to going to a Children’s Hearing, to getting help and advice. There is also versions of the film in British Sign Language and with subtitles.
Jennifer Orren, SCRA’s Participation Officer said: “We are committed to improving our information materials for children, young people, parents and carers who are referred to the Reporter or are coming to a Children’s Hearing.
“Our new film is another great addition to our suite of information materials. It provides information about the system in hopefully an easy to understand way.”
SCRA already has a suite of easy read guides available for parents/carers with learning difficulties and these are available on our website.
