Recommendation 89
89
Paragraph: 258
National Referral Mechanism deemed inappropriate for children due to inconsistent support and fragmented approach.
Conclusion
The National Referral Mechanism is not appropriate for children. The support is not defined as it is for adults, universally available or applied consistently. There is an overall lack of a joined-up approach across the National Referral Mechanism, child welfare and protection and criminal justice systems.
