Description

This Policy articulates South Africa’s national developmental child care and protection vision. Furthermore, it sets out the policy framework for ensuring that all responsible role-players have the mandate, authority and clarity of understanding to engage in collective, integrated and harmonised action in adopting appropriate quality practices and programmes at the scale required for the realisation of this vision.
It recognises that children’s care and protection are critical for sustainable development, and makes it a nationwide priority to provide these programmes and services in a coordinated, integrated and uniform manner.
