Register of Appropriate Support Persons (RASP)
Register of Appropriate Support Person (RASP) is a legislated program in the Youth Justice Act. RASP aims to ensure appropriate support is available for young people who are required to be interviewed or charged by police when a responsible adult is unavailable.
Through RASP, Anglicare NT provides a support person to young people (10 – 17 years) who are required to be interviewed by police when a responsible adult isn’t available.
The support person can help a young person with:
- emotional support
- understanding proceedings
- ensuring their rights are upheld and needs met
- pursuing their preferred way of proceeding while adhering to legal requirements
RASP is available for young people in Darwin, Alice Springs and Katherine. Referrals are through NT Police.
