| contents | <p>Each year, approximately 2.5 million children across the EU are involved in judicial proceedings as witnesses, victims, or parties to proceedings. Yet most national justice systems remain adult-oriented, and professionals frequently lack the specialised training needed to support children effectively. The CHILD project addresses this gap with a <strong>newly developed</strong> Guide for Professionals on Forensic Interviewing and Protection of Child Victims of Violence in Criminal Justice Proceedings.</p> <p>The guide promotes a<strong> trauma-informed </strong>and <strong>child-friendly approach</strong> throughout criminal justice proceedings, placing particular emphasis on <strong>forensic interviewing</strong> and <strong>multidisciplinary and interagency collaboration</strong>. The guide is addressed to all professionals who interact with child victims in criminal justice proceedings: <strong>prosecutors, judges, lawyers, police officers, ad hoc guardians and special representatives, as well as health, welfare, care, and victim support professionals</strong>. While core principles are shared, the guidance is designed to be applied according to each professional's specific role — from informing legal decision-making and evidence gathering to advocating for the child's best interests and supporting multidisciplinary collaboration.</p> |
