At its most recent meeting, on 27 July this year, the Council of Attorneys-General, CAG, discussed the progress of the Age of Criminal Responsibility Working Group to date and noted that the group identified the need for further work to occur regarding adequate processes and services for children who exhibit offending behaviour. It would not be appropriate to release working documents, including those prepared by other jurisdictions, while the process is ongoing. Ultimately, any decision to release documents once the working group is completed will be a matter for attorneys-general of all jurisdictions.
