Rights in Brief: Defining children’s constitutional right to social services*NEW*
PDF Download - This rights brief defines children’s right to social services – a
right which is currently under discussion in relation to the Children’s Act. The
new legislation focuses on giving effect to three constitutional rights:
children’s right to social services; their right to family care, parental care or
appropriate alternative care; and the right to be protected from all forms of
neglect and abuse. The rights brief therefore outlines the scope and content
of these rights in order to feed into the deliberations on the new law. The
publication is an output of the CI’s Project 28, which aims to define the
scope and content of children’s constitutional rights using jurisprudence,
academic commentary and international law.
