CAP. 141 Children [Rev. 2012] guilty of the offence, the Children’s Court to which the case has been remitted may deal with the offender in any way in which it might have dealt with him if he had been tried and found guilty by that court. (3) No appeal shall lie against an order of remission made under this section, but nothing in this section shall affect any right of appeal against the verdict or finding on which such an order is founded, and if a child has been found guilty by the High Court and his case remitted to a Children’s Court for an order under section 191 of this Act, he may appeal against such findings to the Court of Appeal. (4) A court by which an order remitting a case to a Children’s Court is made under this section may give such directions as appear to be necessary with respect to the custody of the offender or for his release on bail or bond until he can be brought before the Children’s Court, and shall cause to be transmitted to the clerk of the Children’s Court a certificate setting out the nature of the offence and stating the stage reached in the case, and that the case has been remitted for the purposes of being dealt with under this section. (5) Where, pursuant to the provisions of section 184, a court other than a children’s court hears a charge against a child, the court shall apply all the provisions of this Act as relate to the safeguards to be accorded a child offender. 186. Guarantees to a child accused of an offence Every child accused of having infringed any law shall— (a) be informed promptly and directly of the charges against him; (b) if he is unable to obtain legal assistance, be provided by the Government with assistance in the preparation and presentation of his defence; (c) have the matter determined without delay; (d) not be compelled to give testimony or to confess guilt; (e) have free assistance of an interpreter if the child cannot understand or speak the language used; (f) if found guilty, have the decisions and any measures imposed in consequence thereof reviewed by a higher court; (g) have his privacy fully respected at all the proceedings; (h) if he is disabled, be given special care and be treated with the same dignity as a child with no disability. 187. Consideration of welfare (1) Every court in dealing with a child who is brought before it shall have regard to the best interests of the child and shall, in a proper case, take steps for removing him from undesirable surroundings and for securing that proper provision be made for his maintenance, education and training. (2) Every child in remand or custodial care who is ill, or who complains of illness, (physical or mental), shall be examined promptly by a qualified medical practitioner and treated.
