What is hear the child?
Kids talk, we listen
​
"Hear the Child" is a heartfelt process that values and honours your child's voice in legal matters. It involves a series of gentle, non-evaluative, and child-centered interviews with your child, where they can express their thoughts, feelings, and preferences.
