The Regulations were tabled in Parliament on 11 February 2010 and referred to the Committee for consideration and report on 18 February 2010. The Committee is fully aware that the Act requires various departments to play a role in the drafting and implementation of the regulations. The Committee is also fully aware of the challenges around convening meetings of the Inter-Sectoral Committee for Child Justice, but still feels that more could have been done. The relevant departments were given more than a year to get ready for the implementation of the Act. The Act furthermore requires the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development to develop a National Policy Framework for Child justice. This framework must be adopted and tabled in Parliament within two months after the commencement of the Act. The Committee will closely monitor and ensure that the Department complies with the deadline.
