Putting children’s rights and procedural safeguards at the heart of barnahus practice

Key Objectives:

  • Understand what a child rights based approach implies (for the design of the system and for individual practitioners)
  • Recognise the rights involved when responding to child victims of violence, with orientations on the importance of – and guidance to – integrated child protection systems and child friendly justice, and a focus on key safeguards under EU law
  • Consider how to fulfil the rights of child victims of violence in day to day practice in the Barnahus
  • Lectures and seminar setup may be tailored to your exact needs and audience.

When offered as a module to another training, additional objectives may include:

  • Raise awareness of the legal provisions which shape Barnahus practice (professionals know that these laws are relevant & may want to learn more)
  • Provide an introduction to how these laws influence practice (practitioners learn to spot issues that are influenced by the law)
  • Explore how the law affects certain aspects of practice (for example, providing information to and hearing the views of the child on the process, individual assessments, protection from secondary traumatisation, support and assistance for the child)
  • Equip professionals to engage on general challenges in practice in their jurisdictions (potentially with other professionals and policy makers)

When offered as a module in a forensic interview training, additional objectives may include:

  • In-depth training on how particular procedural safeguards must be fulfilled through practice; including:
    • providing information to and hearing the views of the child on the process,
    • conducting, contributing to or using individual assessments,
    • protection from secondary traumatisation,
    • support and assistance for the child
