What children should expect at youth court

8 March 2023

We worked closely with the Youth Justice Legal Centre and Just for Kids Law to explore what children should expect from a solicitor.

This easy to read leaflet explains how solicitors can help them. It was tested with children and solicitors and has been well received. You can request printed versions.

You can also use the information in our good practice guide to help your clients understand what to expect from you.
