When the Commission concluded the review of the Child and Young Persons Act, it was considered proper that other legislation on children be reviewed especially that which affects areas that were not covered under the review. The Children and young Persons Act was largely a criminal justice statute but when the special Law Commission established to review it sat, it considered using the opportunity to introduce matters of care and protection in the Bill it proposed. When the Bill was enacted as the Child Care, Protection and Justice Act in 2010, it did not cover issues of adoption which are regulated by the Adoption of Children Act. 45 | P a g e
