First, in relation to respect of rights, support and protection to victims of crime, if it is in compliance with Directive 2012/29/EU of the European Parliament and of The Council, of 25 October 2012, establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime. Second, the practices that are carried out in restorative services in the juvenile justice field, and the type of guarantees they offer to victims.

Europa

The varying levels of implementation of international standards concerning children in conflict with the law have become a problem inherent in the field of Juvenile Justice, due to various reasons, with  a lack of specific training in Juvenile Justice at both the EU, and the local level, being key. Current training methods in how Juvenile Justice stakeholders communicate with children in conflict with the law is somewhat lacking. Therefore, the project, elaborated by International Juvenile Justice Observatory (IJJO)  ‘Improving Juvenile Justice Systems in Europe: Training for Professionals’ intends to provide information, knowledge and training to juvenile justice national authorities and staff working with juvenile offenders at a European level, in order to promote a better implementation of international standards concerning children in conflict with the law. It will involve the IJJO think tank and formal network: the European Council of Juvenile Justice.

The project will focus on improving juvenile justice national systems and exchanging promising practices concerning juvenile offenders subject to sanctions or measures.

The project will consist of training modules on the creation on Child Friendly justice and will follow a two part approach:

  • Training of trainers (national Juvenile Justice stakeholders).
  • National interdisciplinary workshops on child-friendly justice (for defender, social, health, care professionals, penitentiary staff, etc).

The training of trainers will focus on capacity building for juvenile justice stakeholders and the content of national workshops will follow the IJJO White Paper recommendations, in particular how and why assess the need of children in conflict with the law deprived of liberty with a special interest in promoting alternative measures and restorative approaches. The accent will be given to the importance of developing individualised programs for children in conflict with the law, and developing specific knowledge for professionals concerning children rights, communication with children and preparation to the release.

Launched by the Italian Ministry of Justice, specifically by the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Network project is financially supported by the European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals 2007-2013 and aims to reinforce the exchange of best practices of juvenile justice between European national administrations.

Through the organisation of exchange visits, the project’s participants have the opportunity to analyse their counterparts’ approach to the most pressing contemporary challenges. In particular, the national delegations focused on the implementation of alternatives to measures of deprivation of liberty, mediation and restorative justice practices.
