Constitutional objectives

‘The West Lothian Childrens Panel Fund was set up to provide monetary assistance to Young People (for the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardshjp or other disadvantage), who are also subject to Compulsory Measures of Care under the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011, are resident in West Lothian, and have identified need for which no formal funding avenue is available.
