Introduction This slideshow is to allow you to better understand what it means to be a child advocate and provide the knowledge on what is expected of you when dealing with child victims and domestic violence victims.

Child Victim

Interactions between a Child Victim and Criminal Justice Professionals When working with a victim who is a child, there are necessary steps to take to make the child feel as comfortable with you as possible while receiving the necessary evidence and information needed for court and prosecution purposes. When working with child victims, you should: ● Speak to them in a calm, low tone to ensure that they are not frightened or feel as if they are being scolded for the situation they were put in. ● Speak clearly and not in complex words beyond their understanding ● Provide them with the feeling of security and ensure that they are safe.

Experience of a Child Victim When a child victim is stuck in a court case, they may be fearful and not quite understand what is taking place during this time. Provide the child with reassurance and remind them that they are safe and that explain the steps of the court proceeding to the best of your ability with the comprehension age of the child. This experience for them is one of the worst times in their life and can be very hard mentally on a victim child. Provide the child and their guardian with necessary resources to ensure that the child is receiving the proper treatment in regard to physical and mental health. As an allied professional, it is your job to ensure that the child is protected and understands the process while providing them with a sense of stabiltity.
