The Welfare Ordinance 1961 continued to allow for the separation of children from their parents, however it placed restrictions on the means with which this was done. For the separation of children under the age of 14, a court would grant permission based on its satisfaction with the care the child would receive upon removal. This Ordinance was repealed by the Social Welfare Ordinance in 1964.
