Have your say on Council of Europe guidelines on child friendly justice
What is the Council of Europe?
The Council of Europe protects the human rights of people who live in 47 different countries in the continent of Europe. 150 million children and young people are affected by its work.
Child friendly justice?
The Council of Europe has written some rules (or guidelines) to protect children’s rights. It wants to find out about children and young people’s views and experiences before finishing and publishing the rules.
The rules will cover lots of different decisions about the law and individual children and young people’s lives, such as:
- Who you will live with when if your parents are separating or getting divorced
- What happens if you are the victim of a crime (including child abuse)
- What happens if you have been arrested by the police or charged with committing a crime
- How children and young people can make complaints about how they are treated.
Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share your views with the Council of Europe.
The deadline for submitting your views is 31 March 2010
