Since the information on the form which was given to you before the hearing was not accepted,* [insert who did not accept the grounds] or
Since the hearing were satisfied that you could not / did not* understand the reasons why you were there*
*delete as appropriate
your case has been sent to a sheriff who will decide whether the information is correct.
The sheriff will listen to the evidence in your case, and will make a decision. This decision is very important for you, and it is necessary for you to attend to tell the sheriff about anything to do with you; although you may not be asked any questions.
A sheriff assists for lots of different reasons, this time the purpose is to help the Children’s Hearing. If the sheriff decides that the worries about you are justified the case will go back to the children’s hearing who will decide what is to happen in your case.
Remember that the date, time and place of the hearing are given on the attached page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ATTEND on the date and time given. If an emergency arises and you cannot attend you must contact the Sheriff Clerk or the Reporter because it is possible, if you do not attend, you may be detained and kept in a safe place until a later date.

They give advice on their free phone no (0800 317 500) any time between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm Monday to Friday.
