Laws that Apply to Child Care and Protection

  • Age of M-ajority Act (No 57of 1972)
  • Child Care Act (No 74 of 1983)
  • Children’s Status Act (No 82 of 1987)
  • Guardianship Act (No 192 of 1993)

However, over the past years, it has become clear that these laws are not able to protect and support children enough. As a result of a long process of consultation, the Children’s Act (No 38 of 2005) and the Children’s Amendment Act were passed.
