CHILDREN'S AMENDMENT BILL RETURNED TO NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
- 24 November 2022
- Parliament
- SA Legal Academy
The NCOP has endorsed minor changes to the Children's Amendment Bill proposed by its Health & Social Services Committee. These changes are technical but must nevertheless be approved by the National Assembly Committee on Social Development before a 'D' version of the Bill can be passed and sent to the President for signature. This version is not yet available. Once in force, the Bill is expected to provide a comprehensive legal solution to challenges faced by the foster care system, as ordered in 2017 by the Gauteng High Court (Pretoria).
