Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 111
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Where mechanisms do not exist, States should establish by law, and promote and implement safe, child-sensitive counselling, complaint and reporting mechanisms in compliance with the guiding principles and requirements mentioned above, as a core dimension of a well-functioning and well-resourced national child protection system, which is universally available to and accessible by all children without discrimination of any kind. Such mechanisms should be grounded in a solid legal framework framed by international standards, prohibiting all forms of violence against children, and safeguarding the rights of child victims and witnesses, and should be provided with the necessary financial means and well-trained human resources to act in a timely, ethical, child-sensitive and effective manner.
