Progress on the UNCROC work programme

The Ministry of Youth Development released the UNCROC five-year work programme on 30 September 2004. Since then there have been two updates to Cabinet on progress with the work programme.

The most recent update, considered by Cabinet in March 2007, noted that good progress has been made on the work programme's 28 items, with the majority of items completed or underway.

This includes substantial amounts of work on:

  • child and adolescent health outcomes (Items 16 and 17)
  • addressing education disparities (Item 19)
  • assistance to child abuse victims (Item 13)
  • a Department of Corrections “test of best interests” for guiding the placement of young people in correctional facilities (Item 4).
The March 2007 update also contains a detailed breakdown of the Government activity that is contributing to New Zealand's UNCROC obligations, as well as an updated set of milestones for the work programme as it moves into its final phase.
