10.1 Children should be diverted or, where there is no other option, detained in secure-care centres designed especially to cater to their specific rehabilitation and development needs. While the Committee accepts that children should not be incarcerated and that the provision of programmes and education to them is not the DCS' responsibility, the fact that they are in its care, requires the DCS to partner with departments that share the responsibility for caring for delinquent children, so as to ensure that their needs are met, and to mitigate the effects of incarceration. The Child Justice legislation should result in greater co-ordination of efforts to ensure better care for children in conflict with the law.
