Guide to Protecting Vulnerable Children in South Africa

Lawyers for Human Rights, CoRMSA and the Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town have created a guide to working with vulnerable children in South Africa.

This guide can be used as an information tool for social workers, professionals working in child protection and to inform the public on the rights and protection pathways for vulnerable children living in South Africa. Vulnerable children living in South Africa include refugee, asylum-seeking, stateless, separated, unaccompanied and undocumented children.

This guide also contains the contact details for organisations who can provide legal and psycho-social support for children.
