We talk with children and young people about laws, policies and practices that affect kids. Based on their views, we make submissions and recommendations to Parliament, government and non-government agencies so kids' points of view can be heard by decision makers.
Here you can read about any changes or proposed changes to these laws and policies that have an impact on kids.
