Consultation exercise - The Children's Charter
04/11/2005
CPS Policy Directorate has prepared a document, the Children's Charter, explaining the way we deal with cases where children are involved as victims or witnesses. The Charter is for children, their parents, guardians and carers and for those who work to support children. Organisations that work with children have been involved in the preparation of the document.
The Children's Charter is the subject of a consultation exercise. The consultation exercise starts on 4 November 2005 and ends on 10 February 2006. We welcome views from everyone with an interest in this topic. Responses to the consultation should be made by completing and returning the questionnaire, a copy of which can be found at the end of the Charter. Responses should be sent to Kirsten Foster, CPS Policy Directorate (please see the consultation questionnaire for contact details).
The attached two documents are the consultation papers. The first document is the Children's Charter. The second document is an alternative version of Chapter 4 of the Charter, which has been written in the "second person". We seek feedback as to both documents.
