The Children’s Act, the Amendment Acts, Regulations and Norms and standards guide social work practitioners(social workers and social auxiliary workers) working with children.  Therefore, they need to understand how to implement the Act and supporting legislation.

The workshop is so designed that the programme does not follow the usual format of chapter per chapter, but rather around concepts, the meaning thereof, where it is in the Children’s Act and how to use it in practice.

This workshop thus sets out to capacitate social work practitioners to understand and apply the Children’s Act  in practice in working with children.
