Our Governance
The Child Friendly Justice European Network is a values-driven organisation that seeks to put children and young people at the centre of all we do.
General Assembly
The General Assembly determines the general policies and undertakes all important decisions, including election and recalling of the Steering Committee members, the approval of the budget, the approval of the strategy and the acceptance and exclusion of members of the Child Friendly Justice European Network (the Network). It is the democratic heart of the Network where a fair and equal representation of each member’s voices is ensuring.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is the Network’s executive body, responsible for shaping the orientations and strategies adopted by the General Assembly. It provides policy recommendations, determines cross-cutting themes, and sets strategic priorities, ensuring all decisions are made transparently.
