The report makes three recommendations that  New Zealand government can put into place immediately:  

• Make sure policy and legislative reform are child-centred and rights-based. Identify where children’s rights are not being met, what needs to be done, who will do the work, timeframes for implementation and how the work will be monitored.
• Allocate responsibility and resources to coordinate the implementation of the Children’s Convention across government.
• Ensure children and young people’s views are taken into consideration in the development of legislation and policies.
