Charter of Rights for Young People in Bimberi
A guide to your rights and responsibilities while in detention. It will help you understand how you can expect to be treated and how you should treat others while at the Bimberi Youth Justice Centre.
Summary
Twelve rights are protected in the Charter, including the right to be treated equally, to be safe from violence and abuse, and to have your privacy respected.
The Charter requires Bimberi staff, police and other workers, including health and education staff, to act in line with these rights and to consider human rights when developing policies, delivering services and making decisions.
In certain circumstances, some rights may be limited or restricted. This will only occur if it is necessary and reasonable. You will be given clear reasons if your rights are limited.
