The event focuses on the importance of adequate legal assistance by specifically trained professionals. It encourages interactions between children, young people, professionals and experts in the area of child-friendly justice.
FRA will provide targeted input into the workshops. It will present its newest research on child-friendly justice focussing on procedural safeguards for children in criminal proceedings.
