WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CHILD

CENTRED?

In 2016 we published a paper titled The
Continuum of Including Children in ADR
Processes: A Child-Centered Continuum Model
(Yasenik and Graham, 2016).

In the article, we introduced a process for increasing
the voice of the child in family law processes according
to four different levels of parental readiness to hear
and engage with the child concerns. We identified this
model as the Child Centred Continuum Model (CCCM).
