At the Crossroads: Designing and Implementing Child-Centred Criminal Proceedings for Child Victims of Violence, Taking Account of Related Child Protection Proceedings

Child Protection Hub

This webinar will explore how to ensure child-centred procedures are in place in the criminal proceedings and how to avoid the risk of conflict with child protection proceedings. Participants will learn about the legal and practical issues involved in ensuring the right safeguards are in place.  The webinar will consider what legal and social professionals need to think together about to ensure effective justice and to avoid re-traumatisation of the child. This seminar is aimed at practitioners, representatives of professional organisations as well as policymakers concerned with child victims of violence in criminal proceedings.
