CREW was jointly conceived as a national project by DCI Italy and the Italian Ministry of Justice as a follow up to the previous EU project called “My Lawyer, My Rights”, with the aim of supporting the implementation of EU Directive 800/2016 in Italy.
The scope is to achieve that all children involved in criminal proceedings as accused or suspect persons have access to a child-friendly juvenile justice system that considers their individual needs and conditions to determine tailored measures aimed at their positive and harmonic personal development within society.
The CREW project is co-funded by the Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme of the European Union (REC 2014-2020).
