Young people and criminal law

Call to action!
 
Tell us what you really think of 'Law for Community Workers on the go' - help this resource grow and improve.
 

Please NOTE a correction from this episode, Young people and the law.

Young people are of licensable age for a car once they turn 16. 

 

In this podcast we discuss:

  • what the Legal Aid NSW Childrens Legal Service is
  • what type of work they do and how they help young people
  • the age of criminal responsibility
  • young peoples rights at the police station and at court
  • diversion options such as cautions and conferences, and
  • top tips to help the young people you work with if they get in trouble with police.
