The document has been designed to set out how best to make decisions to benefit children facing life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
It was put together by ethicists, medics and lawyers and aims to set out when decisions are no longer considered to be in the best interest of the child.
The paper references circumstances in which a doctor may want to consider stopping treatment as part of their duty of care.
For example, if life will be limited significantly in quantity or quality or if a competent and informed child refuses treatment, supported by their family.
The last report of this type was published 10 years ago and the new report takes new technology and improved care services into consideration.
Trevor Stammers is a Christian lecturer on medical ethics at St Mary's University. He told Premier: "It's not a question of the doctor laying down the law as to what will be done, but it's very delicate process of negotiation and consultation with - if the child is old enough - the child themselves, and the parents and the whole team who's looking after the child.
"And if necessary getting a second opinion from a completely independent team, so nobody would rush into making a decision that has a life and death bearing on it."
