- Legal obligation to obtain free and voluntary consent to the diversion from the child or consent from parents if the child is below a certain age;
- Existence of structures (e.g. administrative forms) to obtain the free and voluntary written consent to participating in a diversion programme from a child;
- Children charged who entered a pre-sentence diversion scheme;
- Legal obligation to provide the equivalent level of safeguards to children in-court and out-of-court proceedings;
