Children and the Law

This manual on children and the law is based on expert analysis and aimed at people who help children and their families. The manual is written in a straightforward language, making it also understandable to older children and their families. The manual is made up of fourteen chapters covering a wide range of issues, which clearly set out key areas of the law relating to children in South Africa. The first edition of this manual was compiled and edited by the previous LHR Child Rights Co-ordinator, Ann Skelton. The second edition was edited by Sudeshnee Padayachee, the second co-ordinator of the Project.
