PROVISION OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH WITH ADULT RECIPIENTS OF LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOR CHILDREN’S PANEL HEARINGS

The overall objective of the research is to explore experiences of legally assisted adult clients in the hearings system, with a focus on their interactions with their solicitor. This research will be undertaken using qualitative methods. We anticipate these will be one to one interviews, however small groups, or another method, may be possible depending on individual circumstances. Contractors are asked to suggest, or expand on, the appropriate methods.
