To date, the South African government has not yet put in place a policy that deals specifically with street children. There is no government legislation that aims to pull together existing government departments and infrastructures in a coherent unified manner so as to close the policy gaps. The question that needs to be raised is, ""if there is no official government, provincial or national policy in place that addresses or governs street child interventions, then what are the street child interventions doing in practice?"" If they are dealing with street children and their issues on a daily basis, then surely what policies they have developed in practice could prove highly informative to shape and eventually codify and formulate a national policy. If national policy should be based on best practice, then it is worthwhile to look around at practices on the ground and begin selecting and composing such a piece of legislation. This mnor dissertation is an attempt to answer these questions. 2014-10-01T11:40:04Z 2014-10-01T11:40:04Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7898 eng application/pdf School of Education Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
