The Final Conference and Transnational Seminar conclude the two years mandate of this European scale action research project. This event will bring together professionals from the justice, care and health sectors, policymakers, researchers and volunteers, to disseminate the ENCLAVE project outputs and to foster dialogue towards the need for a common framework of implementation of the forensic interview procedures with children victims and witnesses of sexual violence.
The Final Conference initiates with a welcoming speech by the hosting institution (KUL) and follows with the contributions from European Commissioner Katarzyna Janicka-Pawlowska on The Victims’ Rights Directive and children’s rights, and from Levent Altan, Executive Director at Victim Support Europe, on Designing an interconnected system of Support and Justice. The ENCLAVE project is then introduced and the main findings and outputs presented.
In the afternoon, the Transnational Seminar hosts three thematic sessions focused on the specialized response to child sexual victimization, delivered by guest speakers experts in the fields of justice and of child victim support. To conclude the day, a round table will foster discussion amongst guest speakers, project partners, and assistants, on the challenges of daily practice in criminal justice procedures with child victims and witnesses of sexual violence, and challenges regarding the interprofessional collaboration of relevant stakeholders of the child victims’ journey.
