Role of Local Authorities
Local authorities bear significant responsibility in conducting age assessments for unaccompanied minors. Supporting them through targeted training and resources is essential to ensure they perform this task effectively.
Training Programs for Local Authorities
Training programs designed for local authority staff enhance their understanding of the legal and procedural requirements of age assessments. These programs also provide practical tools and techniques for conducting thorough and fair assessments.
Collaboration with Experts
Collaboration with independent experts and organizations can provide local authorities with specialized knowledge and support. This collaborative approach ensures assessments are conducted in line with best practices, benefiting the minors and the broader community.
Government Support and Funding
The shift in government funding towards the new Border Security Command promises better support for local authorities. By reallocating resources previously committed to the Rwanda plan, the government aims to enhance border security and improve the overall effectiveness of age assessments. This initiative ensures that local authorities have the necessary tools and training to perform their duties accurately.
