Book excerpt: Vulnerable Children in South Africa: Legal, social development and criminological aspects analyses the legal, social development, criminological and penology issues that affect vulnerable children and children who are in conflict with the law. The book adopts a multi-disciplinary approach to the topic and considers vulnerability within both the family and broader societal structures. The book addresses the needs of children as victims and children as perpetrators of harm. The book takes a holistic view of vulnerability in childhood and addresses a wide variety of issues, including the nature and potential legal impact of harmful cultural practices. Vulnerable Children in South Africa also describes the causes and effects of vulnerability in childhood and emphasises the multi-disciplinary aspects of working with such children as victims or offenders. The authors concentrate on the processes that apply to the work of various professionals: police officers-, lawyers, social workers, probation officers and correctional officers. The Child Justice Act 75 of 2008, the Children's Act 38 of 2005 and the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007 are among the Acts that are discussed.

Book excerpt: This report is aimed at providing an overview of the situation of children in South Africa, with a focus on the non-fulfilment and violation of children's rights as formulated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The assessment utilises evidence drawn from available literature and interviews with key actors in the South African child rights arena. Based on the opinion of these key respondents, the report provides an overview of the key role players in the field, followed by suggestions for possible areas for intervention by international aid agencies. The assessment is limited by a number of elements, such as an extremely short time frame, the shortage of relevant information in certain areas, and the description of role players in the child rights arena is not comprehensive.

Book excerpt: Non-conditional, means-tested cash transfer programs in South Africa are increasingly being used as policy tools to address health and welfare issues among disadvantaged households. Young, vulnerable children may benefit greatly from the increased source of income, but few studies have explored the relationship between South African cash transfer programs and child health outcomes. Using data from KwaZulu-Natal, I study the marginal impact of a bundle of state-funded grants on child weight-for-height measures among black children under the age of five. Further, I extend this analysis across various household structures and by gender of cash transfer recipient. I find that participation in cash transfer programs is only positively correlated with child weight-for-height where the adult recipient of the grant is female, and their effect is more pronounced among children living with biological parents.

This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, children are highly vulnerable and unjustifiably affected by the difficulties afflicting society. They face social, physical, psychological, and emotional turmoil that stems from varying degrees of violence, abuse, neglect, abandonment, bereavement, and other psychosocial needs that often affect their education. Parental and other key stakeholders’ involvement is essential in ensuring that children develop to their full potential. Provision of Psychosocial Support and Education of Vulnerable Children highlights the plight of children and explores a transdisciplinary and multisectoral approach in providing sustainable psychosocial support to have quality education that is inclusive of 21st century skills. Childhood is an inimitable experience that is common to every individual child in the world irrespective of their ethnicity, culture, or any other arbitrary extractor we choose to apply. Covering topics such as life skills education, psychosocial support, and holistic integration, this book is an essential reference for education stakeholders, school personnel, private pre-primary schools, teacher training institutions, parents, pre-service teachers, human services professionals, researchers, and academicians.

Book excerpt: The present study addresses gaps in the literature by exploring resilience from the perspective of the child. This paper begins by providing background on the current conditions in sub-Saharan South Africa specific to children and the AIDS epidemic. Emphasis is placed on the adverse conditions for these children, resulting in what has been labeled a national and social emergency. Past and present literature is reviewed on the topic of resilience in children with particular attention paid to the concept of global resilience in relationship to cross-cultural studies of at-risk children and the cultural and contextual factors specific to healthy development in adversity. Background is additionally provided on theories of resilience from a developmental perspective, including a review of psychological and social systems and the use of psychosocial support as a framework for addressing the developmental needs of children. In the current study, researchers analyzed the existing data sample collected from a week long Kids Camp organized and operated by Resilient Kids SA, a psychosocial support program and awareness training curriculum designed to equip and empower communities to care for youth and vulnerable children in South Africa. Grounded theory methodology was employed in this study. An open-coding process was used to identify themes and construct a theory on resilience, grounded in the data, from the perspective of the child. Individual and group themes that emerged were: community networking and connection, multisensory tools, skill building and development, identity, group belonging and change, positive influence of the model, and a place to learn.
