Description
When a Child below the age of 18 is arrested or interviewed under caution, a parent or guardian should always be present at the police interview to act as an Appropriate Adult as defined by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), unless there are exceptional circumstances that prevent this or render it inappropriate.
The Service, where a parent or guardian is unable to attend the police interview, will provide a coordinated approach to the provision of persons to act as Appropriate Adults. The Service will provide advice and support as well as ensuring the Child is being treated fairly and their needs are being met. The Service Provider must be aware of and be able to support any safeguarding, mental health needs and learning and communication difficulties. In addition, the Service and the Appropriate Adults must:
I. Ensure the Child understands what is happening II. Ensure the Child understands their rights III. Support, advise and assist the detained Child IV. Observe whether the Police are acting properly, fairly and with respect V. Facilitate communication between the Police and the detained person.
The Appropriate Adult must be present during the course of the Police interview and at various stages of investigations conducted in the Police station. Although the Police have the overall responsibility to safeguard Children whilst in Police custody, the Appropriate Adult must bring any safeguarding concerns to the attention of the relevant senior Police Officer as well as the Authority.
