Abstract
‘South Africa finally has a new comprehensive Children’s Act providing for the full range of social services needed to support vulnerable children and their families. On 1 April 2010 the Children’s Act 38 of 2005 and the Children’s Amendment Act 41 of 2007 came into full effect. This means that the Child Care Act of 1983 is repealed and the child care and protection system is now governed by the new Children’s Act of 2005 (as amended).’ [Introduction]
