Abstract
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.
