Member feedback is sought developing a child and youth wellbeing strategy, a requirement of the Child Poverty Reduction legislation.

An overview, including relevant Cabinet papers, can be found here (https://dpmc.govt.nz/our-programmes/child-and-youth-wellbeing-strategy/policy-development ).

You can read NZNO’s submission on the Child Poverty Reduction bill and you may find submissions on the UN Periodic Review of Children’s Rights in New Zealand and on Strengthening  Oversight of Oranga Tamariki useful. You may want to consider how nursing contributes to child and youth wellbeing (examples are useful) and what enhances or impedes that contribution.

Please note that there is also an opportunity to feed directly into the accompanying survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/tellthepm

Please send feedback to marilyn.head@nzno.org.nz by 21st November 2018
