Children's Panel
Joint Children's Panel Advisory Committee
The Children's Panel Advisory Committee for Stirling also has responsibility for Clackmannanshire and Falkirk Children's Panels and is called the Joint Children's Panel Advisory Committee. The Administrative support for the JCPAC is provided by Falkirk Council's Law and Administration Services.
The annual recruitment drive for new Panel members usually takes place around August/September and advertisements are placed in local newspapers, libraries, community centres, radio and television, etc. Informal information evenings take place to allow potential Panel members a chance to find out if they would be suitable or not. Thereafter, selection interviews are held and new Panel members are finally appointed, after completion of training, buy the Scottish Minister.
