376: Role and rights of responsible adult
or “How a responsible adult helps and speaks for young people under immigration law”
You could also call this:

“Immigration officials must listen to children's opinions about their situation”

In any legal proceedings or processes involving a minor in immigration matters, you have the right to share your views on the situation. If possible, you can express your thoughts either by yourself or through a responsible adult who can speak for you. The people making decisions will consider what you say carefully. They will think about how old you are and how well you understand the situation when they decide how much weight to give your opinion. This means that the more you understand about what’s happening, the more seriously they will take your views.
