Care of Children Bill
The Care of Children Act made substantial changes to the way family is conceived in law by extending the state’s authority over children and diversifying the description of families. Under the new law, parents only have ‘day to day care’ rather than ‘custody’ of their children; children’s rights were emphasised and prominence was given to children’s participation in decision making
