A child has witnessed or been a victim of violence/crime or is suspected/accused of an offence
Contact us:
- if your child is a witness or victim of violence or crime;
- if your child is suspected or accused of committing a crime;
- if your child is involved in administrative, civil, or criminal court proceedings;
if your child is involved in an educational case at the Local Commission (MKBPPSMN) or has been sentenced to probation;
if your child needs to be heard or testify in court or before another investigative authority.
We can support you by:
- advocating for an individual approach to your child, tailored to their needs and situation, by preparing an individual assessment, which is their right;
- if your child needs to be questioned or heard, this will take place in a child-friendly “blue room” with the assistance of a trained psychologist or educator, so as to avoid additional stress or trauma;
- during and after the legal proceedings, we can provide psychological and psycho-social support for your child and for you, to help cope with the consequences of the experience, prevent behavioral difficulties, and normalize life at the Child Advocacy and Support Center for children who are victims and witnesses of violence, as well as children in conflict with the law — “Zone ZaKrila Plus.”
The services provided are free of charge. REQUEST A SERVICE at the SAPI centers or with a referral from the Social Assistance Directorate.
