Implementation Mechanisms
Implementation mechanisms are the mechanisms established by governments to translate their laws and policies relating to children’s care into practice. Implementation mechanisms include the authorised bodies and officials who have specific powers, mandates and responsibilities for children’s care and protection. Implementation mechanisms also include the procedures for identifying and directing children/families to appropriate support and for regulating and monitoring the intervention service system.
