A research review on the application of restorative justice in cases involving child victims in Albania, Greece and Romania was conducted within the “i-RESTORE - Better Protecting Child Victims Rights through Restorative Justice” project. The review resulted in four research reports: one European and three national reports (Albania, Greece, Romania).

This policy brief focuses on children's rights in justice systems, including civil, criminal and administrative justice. To effectively safeguard children's rights in their many facets and across all areas of life, it is indispensable that such rights can be claimed, defended and respected in justice procedures that are appropriate and inclusive for all children without discrimination. Any strategy on the Rights of the Child will thus need to properly take into account children's rights in justice.

The FOCUS project aims at building knowledge, capacities and skills of justice professionals about standards and practices in the use of multi-disciplinary individual assessments. To achieve this purpose, a technical interface & a training manual needs to be developed to support the professionals in the process of conducting systematic multidisciplinary individual assessments with children.

Two projects of the child protection organisation promote the innovative approach of restorative justice for children in Greece – both for children victims and those in conflict with the law.

Through FOCUS project, Terre des hommes (Tdh) and its partners build the capacities of professionals to work in a multidisciplinary way on individual assessments of children involved in criminal proceedings. We also empower children to become agents of change and advocate for child-centred justice.
