Description

This Act establishes a Licensing System for child care services and imposes a duty on such providers to create a safe and suitable environment of the children. Penalties can be sought if there is a breach of this duty. The Act also sets out how inspections of such providers may take place and creates emergency powers for the removal of a child or the license of a provider.
