Recommendation 9:
Development and cognitive functioning should not prohibit children’s participation in court proceedings, as this denies children their fundamental rights based on perceived functioning and undermines the UNCRC’s recommendations (Grover, 2014; Martinson & Tempesta, 2018). Instead, an empowerment-based approach must be adopted and implemented that promotes, prioritizes, and ensures children’s participation in guardianship and family law proceedings regardless of age or capacity. An empowerment-based approach would be child-centred and incorporate strategies that would ensure children’s participation regardless of age and/or capacity, including legal representation, judicial interviewing, VCRs, and child-inclusive mediation.

Recommendation 16:
Decisions concerning the parent in conflict with the law should, wherever possible, consider whether the parent has dependents or responsibilities for the care of children, whether the offender is a sole or primary caregiver, the age and developmental needs of the children involved, and the best interests of each of the children involved. To that end, a number of measures can be taken at each stage of the criminal justice process.

Recommendation 9:
Cooperation among health and child welfare services, the police, correctional officials, officials with responsibility for protecting children and their rights, educational institutions, non-governmental organizations offering support to children and their families, faith-based groups, Indigenous councils, and municipal authorities is required. However, there is no need to “reinvent the wheel”. Communities should make the best use of existing resources and coordination mechanisms. They may need to expand participation in these mechanisms in order to include all those who can play a role in helping this particular group of children.
- Make good use of existing coordination mechanisms.
- As necessary, develop interagency protocols or agreements concerning information sharing and case referrals (with adequate protection for privacy and confidentiality).
- Review existing agreements to determine whether they are sufficient to address the situations of children of parents in conflict with the law.
