Hiya everyone
I have to do a presentation at college on The Children's Act.
Does anyone know where I could get a copy of this act from?
I had a look on the net to see if I could download it, but it 100's of pages long.

The Children Act is a huge piece of legislation - which part of it are you going to be looking at? There are many guidance books which give a better feel of what each part is about. I suggest you contact your local Social Services once you know which part you are going to be presenting and ask for someone to help you out.
Hi Angel,
Speak to your local social services and they will probably help you out, otherwise look out for a guidance booklet which is a lot easier to digest. I will ask my dad if he has any info he can email to me on it (he is a social worker)!

Which Childrens' Act and in what context? I was a childminder when the 1999 Childrens' Act came into force and had to make lots of changes as it applied to me then, then complied with other sections when I ran a Youth club etc etc
Hiya everyone
Thanks for all the advice, I was informed that the act is The Children's Act 2004, that was it.

Well, maybe you could do an overview of what the Act has introduced thats new and maybe show where it relates to previous Acts in underpinning past legislation. Good luck.
