Did you know that children have the right to be heard when decisions are being made that impact them? There is an agreement called the Convention on the Rights of the Child and New Zealand signed this treaty more than 30 years ago.
Our Children’s Voices project gathers the voices of children across Aotearoa to bring the views of children to our decision makers. Because kid’s voices matter!
We need your help!
Our first poll of 2024 aims to gather the voices of children on the Ka Ora, Ka Ako, Healthy School Lunches Programme. We do not believe that enough children have been heard by decision makers while they consider making changes to the programme. As part of our advocacy work we will gather and analyse the data, and present children’s voices to decision makers.
Whether your school participates in Ka Ora, Ka Ako or not, we are still very interested in the views of your students and we are asking you to poll your class about the programme. They will also have the opportunity to share their views on how the programme could be improved.
Thank you for helping uplift and empower the voices of our children, because kid’s voices matter!
