submissions close 28 February 2012
childrensactionplan.govt.nz
A Government Green Paper has been produced on vulnerable children who have
childhoods that make it unlikely they will thrive, belong, and achieve. The
Green Paper has some ideas about what the Government could do to improve
outcomes for vulnerable children. It aims to open up discussions about the
issues and it is a chance for you to have your say. Once all of the submissions
have been received and analysed, a White Paper will be released outlining the
Vulnerable Children’s Action Plan which will be published in 2012.
What is the Green Paper for Vulnerable
Children about?
The Government has launched a discussion paper to
give people and communities a say on how New Zealand can better protect
abused, neglected and disadvantaged children.
Get involved in the debate.
