14D Respectful engagement with child victims If a primary victim is a child, a justice agency must— (a) as far as practicable, consider the child’s views, wishes and circumstances before engaging with the child’s parent or carer as the victim in relation to victims rights; and (b) engage with the child in a way that is appropriate for a person of the child’s age who is not a victim.
