General Objectives of the Legal Service
- Provide clarification and legal information in the various areas and referral of situations requiring a legal response.
- Provide legal advice to the IAC Board, as well as to all the services of the institution.
Target Group
Having as main objective the Defense and Promotion of the Rights of Children and Youth, the main beneficiaries of the intervention of the Legal Service are the children themselves.
In addition to the casuistry, through the training that this service provides to the staff who also share responsibilities in the child protection system, we think that – although reflexively – it is the children and young people who will ultimately benefit from it.
