10. Since diversion is such a key feature of the Bill, its success will ultimately depend on how the provisions of the Bill dealing with it are applied in practice. The Bill only allows for diversion to be considered as a possibility if the child acknowledges responsibility for the offence, and if he or she has not been unduly influenced, to make an acknowledgement to this effect. The role of presiding officers and prosecutors in this regard is possibly limited when compared to the role of the legal representative of child. Legal representatives might often be better placed in assisting the court to come to the correct decision relating to diversion, having facts at their disposal which may not necessarily emerge during a preliminary inquiry. The Bill requires a legal representative to promote diversion, but not to unduly influence the child to acknowledge responsibility. Legal representatives need to be acutely aware of their responsibilities when giving effect to this particular aspect of the Bill.
