(c)
other facilities, programmes and support structures and
appropriate measures and interventions to promote the
safety, physical and psychological rehabilitation of a child
in need of care and protection.
(2)
A child in need of care and protection shall be entitled to the
following:
31.
(a)
free and particularised legal services;
(b)
assistance for care and maintenance of any offspring; and
(c)
other health and social services for any offspring.
Requirements relating to safety homes
A safety home, established in accordance with the law (re-place with this
Act, if need be),
(a)
shall –
secure the physical safety of a victim of child marriage and any
offspring;
(b)
provide basic material support for the care of the victim of child
marriage and any offspring;
(c)
offer counseling and rehabilitation services to the victim of child
marriage and any offspring; and
(d)
in cooperation with the Minister responsible for education, offer
certain educational programmes, as may be prescribed, to the
victim of child marriage and any offspring.
(A Member State should provide in a separate part of the national legislation
for establishment of public and private safety homes, foster homes and other
facilities and for the standards for such facilities, approvals, regulatory
provisions as to stay, discipline and maintenance and closure of such
facilities. Further, provide for procedures for committal and responsibilities of
persons running such facilities. Most of these provisions already exist in Child
Codes, juvenile laws and other juvenile justice system laws in some Member
States and there may, therefore, only be the need for effective cross
referencing)
