These appeals concern the role of siblings in the procedures by which children’s hearings in Scotland make compulsory supervision orders (‘CSOs’). The principal issue concerns the procedures required to make sure that public authorities comply with the obligation in article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (‘ECHR’) to show respect for the private or family life established between a sibling and a child who might be the subject of a CSO.
