WHO WE ARE

The Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) is a policy making, coordinating, and monitoring body tasked through its member and coordinating agencies with the implementation of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act, as amended.

VISION

A society where all children, especially CAR and CICL, enjoy their rights and are protected under a restorative justice and welfare system.

MISSION

To create a caring, protective, and enabling environment for CICL to reform, rehabilitate, and reintegrate with their families and communities; for children at risk to be preventedfrom committing crime;
for victim-survivors and their families to be fully healed; and for communities to be safe and secure under a restorative justice system.

GOALS

All CICLs are rehabilitated and reintegrated back to their families and communities.
All CAR are prevented from becoming CICL.
Children are meaningfully engaged in the implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the comprehensive juvenile intervention programs for children at all levels according to their evolving capacity.
A comprehensive juvenile intervention plan is fully implemented and contributes to a child protection system at all levels.
JJWC members and partners have strong institutional partnerships in advancing the rights of CICL and CAR and in collectively pursuing the Council’s Vision, Mission, and Goals.
