Appropriate adult is a defined term in the UK legal system for a volunteer from the local community. [1] Appropriate Adults were introduced as a policing reform in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 as a result of the 1981 Brixton riot (1981).
The role is to accompany young people aged below 17, who otherwise would have no adult relations or friends, when they are detained in custody to explain the meaning of legal terms, offer counsel or comfort, give advice, contact relatives, ensure the offender is aware of his rights, and that the offender is receiving the care he or she is entitled to (clean cells with no adult offenders inside, for instance).
Appropriate adults are brought to police stations when unaccompanied young people are arrested. The custody suite will contact a local Youth Offending Team (which is in charge of the Appropriate Adult system for that area) to arrange for an appropriate adult to be available.
The request for an appropriate adult is often the first way in which Youth Offending Team's learn of a young persons offences or re-offences.
Appropriate adults are also often used when vulerable adults are detained in custody. Vulerable adults are classed as people who suffer from mental illness, learning difficulties or literacy problems. In these cases it is the appropriate adults role to ensure that the detainee understands the custody process, legal advice and any questions put to them by the police. These appropriate adults usually have specialised mental health training or practical experience of dealing with vulnerable adults.

teisę turintis saugęs asmuo
Turbūt taip bus saugiausia (teisiniu požiūriu) rašyt, nes ne kiekvienas suaugęs tą teisę turi / gali gauti.

atsakingas suaugęs asmuo
Sakyčiau, kad šiame kontekste, žodis 'appropriate' geriau verčiamas – „atsakingas“.
Example sentence:
atsakingas žmogus – pvz.kaltinamojo tėvai, socialinis darbuotojas ar kitas suaugęs asmuo

teisiškai/įstatymiškai atsakingas suaugęs asmuo
Šio asmens atsakomybė pagrįsta įstatymu, todėl manyčiau būtų teisinga sakyti: teisiškai/įstatymiškai atsakingas suaugęs asmuo
