Towards a human-rights-based framework for assessing psychiatric intervention for children and young people
Decisions around psychiatric interventions for children and young people involve balancing respect for the child's wishes, the need to provide benefit and relevant risk factors. We recommend establishing a framework for assessment of interventions for children with mental disabilities, using a human-rights-based approach that can be applied across jurisdictions, alongside national laws.
