CRC. This chapter is devoted to an exploration of the meaning of this right, its implications in the asylum context and whether or not the relevant provisions of the CEAS instruments comply with it. The format of the chapter is similar to previous chapters. The first substantive section (4.2) is devoted to an elucidation of the meaning of the right. For ease of analysis, the right is explored along three lines: the right to a hearing (4.2.1); the conduct of the hearing (4.2.2); and the evaluation of the child’s views (4.2.3). The next section (4.3) scrutinises the extent to which the CEAS instruments are compliant with the three dimensions of right of the child to be heard. The final section (4.4) examines the prospects for enhanced compliance in Phase Two. In terms of which CEAS instruments are implicated by the right of the child to be heard, as might be expected, the APD is the critical instrument.
