Please join us 29 June for a webinar on remote hearings with child victims of violence, organised by the Barnahus Network and The European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control, affiliated with the United Nations (HEUNI).

The use of remote hearings has expanded significantly in recent years, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Barnahus are increasingly serving as locations from which children may participate in judicial proceedings remotely.

Although remote hearings may help safeguard children’s procedural rights and enhance participation, they constitute a different procedure from the pre-recorded interviews commonly conducted in Barnahus, and give rise to specific legal and practical considerations.

This webinar will examine the opportunities and limitations of remote hearings with child victims of violence. It will also present key elements from forthcoming guidances, and welcome participant feedback.
