Validity Foundation, PRISM Impresa Sociale s.r.l. (Italy), Bulgarian Centre for-not-for-profit Law (Bulgaria), and Center for Legal Resources (Romania) invite you to join our Webinar Series on Child-Friendly Justice for children deprived of parental care, children in migration, and children with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities.

These Webinars will be practice-oriented. Participants will benefit from specialised tools, cooperative and multidisciplinary approaches, and recommendations that can be applied to benefit children in contact with the law as victims or suspects in criminal proceedings.

Participants will also learn and benefit from a multidisciplinary perspective ranging from the participation of victim support workers, cultural mediators, and NGOs to practicing criminal law lawyers and judges.

These Webinars are an activity part of the Child-Friendly Justice: Developing the Concept of Social Court Practices (CFJ-DCSCP) – Co-funded by the European Union’s Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (2014-2020).

You may choose to participate in all 3 or 1 of the Webinars. Each will have a focus on different themes as follows:

  • 1 April – 9:30 am – 12:30 pm CET – On how individual assessment should be conducted and measures to enable child victims/suspects in a vulnerable situation to participate in criminal proceedings. These will be based on case studies, inspired by real-life cases identified in this project;
  • 8 April – 9:30 am – 12:30 pm CET – On cooperative multidisciplinary approaches and information sharing between criminal justice professionals and social services to promote safe participation of child victims/suspects in criminal proceedings.
  • 20 April – 3:00 pm – 4:45 pm CET – On tools and standards that should be in place to enable all children, regardless of their situation, and whether they are victims or suspects, to participate in criminal proceedings across the EU
