17. The Constitution requires children in conflict with the law to be kept separately from adults. The Bill provides that this must apply also when children are being transported to and from their place of detention and court. However, it is recognized that this is in some situations not possible and the Committee has, very reluctantly, after much deliberation, allowed for these exceptions. But the Committee is clear that only in exceptional circumstances and where it is simply not possible otherwise, must children be transported together with adults. All stakeholders are required to monitor this to the extent reasonably possible.
