Explanation:
... i nomi delle leggi io non li traduco. Dopo tutto, non hanno validità al di fuori della giurisdizione di emanazione. Per chiarire, dopo l'inglese metterei tra parentesi "legge sulla tutela dei bambini".

Buon lavoro,

Thanks Floriana your answer was most useful. I slightly changed to: legge per la tutela dei minori. I will leave 'children act' in English followed by trans. in brackets. Thanks again for your advice.

Legge per la protezione dell'infanzia


Explanation:
This is how I heard it called in Italy. My opinion is that we should always do our best to translate concepts, not words; not everybody knows foreign languages, and leaving a phrase untraslated may confuse the general public.
