A bit about us

Social Justice and Child Protection Aotearoa brings together people with a passion for justice, equity and rights in child protection. Child protection systems can both harm and help, and often reproduce social inequities. At the same time, children's exposure to harm creates a societal responsibility to respond meaningfully to ensure protection when needed.  

 

Protection is best served via addressing the social conditions affecting parents, whānau and communities. With a wide range of members, we aim to include the views of all stakeholders to develop more equitable systems  and create communities that respond more effectively to the needs of children, parents, families and whānau.
