Illustration for Children’s Act 2014

The Children's Act 2014 has some extra rules that you need to know about. These rules are called transitional, savings, and related provisions. They are part of a schedule that tells you more about what the act means.

You can find out more about when these rules started by looking at the Children's Amendment Act 2018. The government needs to make a plan, or strategy, within one year of the act coming into force, as required by section 6.

The government also needs to write a report every year to say how well they are doing with their plan, as required by section 7B. This report is only needed after the first full year that the plan is in place, and it must be written after the plan is adopted under section 6.
