  • CRC/C/SGP/4-5 Convention on the Rights of the Child
    United Nations CRC/C/SGP/4-5 Convention on the Distr.: General Rights of the Child 3 November 2017 Original: English Committee on the Rights of the Child Consideration of reports submitted by States parties under Article 44 of the Convention Fourth and fifth periodic reports of States parties due in 2017 Singapore 1 FOREWORD Every child is precious, and deserves to grow up in a safe and loving environment. Singapore is committed to protecting and promoting the wellbeing of our children. Since our independence in 1965, Singapore has continually refined its policies to better meet the needs of our children. We are pleased to report our efforts since the last report in 2009. Singapore has strengthened legislation, systems and policies to improve protection for our children. We amended three pieces of legislation to do so: the Children and Young Persons Act to enhance the welfare and care of children, and the Women’s Charter and the Administration of Muslim Law Act to better support children from divorced families. In 2014, Singapore also established the Family Justice Courts, which takes the best interests of the child into account in familial disputes. We have increased our support for families with young children. We enhanced the Child Development Co-Savings Act in 2016 to provide more financial support for child-raising and improve leave schemes to enable working parents to manage both work and family responsibilities. We also provided assurance to parents with young children on the accessibility, affordability and quality of early childhood services. These measures reflect the commitment of the Singapore Government to give every child a good start in life, regardless of their background.
