The role of the Appropriate Adult is to safeguard the interests, rights, entitlements and welfare of children and vulnerable people who are suspected of a criminal offence, ensuring that they are treated in a fair and just manner, and are able to participate effectively.
A child is anyone who appears to be under 18. PACE uses the term ‘juvenile’. Other areas of law refer to ‘children and young people’. However, since 2013 when 17-year-olds were finally recognised as juveniles, these have all meant the same thing.
The minimum age of criminal responsibility in England and Wales is 10 years old (one of the lowest in the world).
Amethyst 247Support delivers the Appropriate Adult service across West Yorkshire.
We operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.
All our Support Carers are screened and go through our safer recruitment process. They are all trained, DBS checked and are fully compliant before beginning employment. With this, providing piece of mind about the integrity and quality of our carers.
