Hear the Child Report
A Hear the Child Report (HTC Report) is a valuable tool for obtaining the views of a child or youth on issues related to family transition or breakdown. The report is non-evaluative and verbatim, meaning that the child has control over what is included and nothing is added without their permission. An Report does not contain any recommendations or evaluations, and the interviewer's opinions or assessments are not included. The report can be obtained by agreement, consent order, or judicial court order.Views of the Child ReportA

A Views of the Child Report is prepared by a mental health professional who hears the child’s views and can also assess the child’s needs or views, but not the parents. This tool can be useful where there are concerns about the child’s well-being.
