Lesley - not Donald

Monday saw the regular meeting of CHIP - the children’s hearings improvement partnership.

Good constructive. Discussions about how to progress the better hearings work and demonstrate the change and improvement we wish to see.

The meeting was chaired for the first time by Lesley Sheppard, a former colleague of mine, who has succeeded Donald Henderson as the Deputy Director leading our sponsor team within Scottish Government.

We look forward to meeting up with her further over the coming weeks and months.
