Children in criminal judicial proceedings - comparative information on multidisciplinary approach
Description
Here you can find comparative information on children in criminal judicial proceedings - comparative information on multidisciplinary approach for all the EU28 Member States on the basis of information collected from national and international databases. The data is available on e.g:
- Legal obligation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the child and assess his/her legal, psychological, social, emotional, physical and cognitive situation using a multidisciplinary approach;
- Existence of memoranda of understanding between Ministry of Justice and other government departments in order to facilitate inter-agency cooperation for professionals working with or for children from prevention through to alternatives to judicial proceedings, detention and release;
- Children involved in criminal justice proceedings who have undergone an assessment of their legal, psychological, social, emotional, physical and cognitive situation by a social worker, psychologist or other specialised professional from the outset of deprivation of liberty and at the latest upon police questioning;
- Existence of a common assessment framework for professionals working with or for children in criminal proceedings (including lawyers, psychologists, physicians, police, immigration officials, social workers and mediators);
- Percentage of children who were provided with special assistance to effectively participate in the proceedings as a result of the findings of the multidisciplinary assessment;
- Existence of formalised operational cooperation procedures for professionals working with or for children in different government departments and agencies and throughout all stages of the proceedings.
