Appropriate Adults

The Appropriate Adult’s responsibility is to safeguard the rights and civil liberties of the detained person who is vulnerable, being Juvenile or adult

[National Appropriate Adult Network (NAAN) @AA_NAAN]

If your child, family member or friend was arrested or questioned by the police, you might be asked to be their #appropriateadult. Would you know their rights? Would you know your own?

We've put together a video “Being an appropriate adult” to help 👇

Congratulations to Lissie Harper for getting the Government to introduce Harper's Law. It gives life sentences to anyone who kills an emergency worker while carrying out their duty. Everything that helps protect officers and emergency workers is brilliant. https://t.co/Iznhz2uoI6

The Home Office is trialing a new online tool #StreetSafe to enable people, particularly women & girls, to pin point locations where they feel/have felt unsafe & identify features on why that location made them feel unsafe.

Data collected is anonymous

So very true …
We’re Done. Under manned. Over worked. Constantly criticised and failed by the media. Show respect and show support. #police #thinblueline #communitypolicing #PoliceFamily (hand drawn with a pencil by Mimic Young)

Highlights how distressing detention can be, the need for better understanding of #Autism in the criminal justice system, and the vital role of the appropriate adult.
