The Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration

The Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration (SCRA) is a public body responsible for making decisions about children and young people in Scotland who are involved with the justice or social welfare systems. They conduct assessments and hold hearings to determine the best steps to support or protect children, such as through care or intervention plans. Their aim is to ensure that children's rights are respected while promoting their safety, wellbeing, and development. SCRA works in collaboration with other agencies like social services, the police, and courts to make informed decisions that benefit children’s best interests.
