In April 2024, we released our report summarising the themes and messages we heard during our Children and Young Peoples Privacy project. Read the short report. Read the full report. About the project
In September 2023 we launched the Children and Young Peoples Privacy project, which looked at how childrens privacy is being protected and ultimately considered whether the rules protecting childrens privacy rights are working. There are some unique challenges and opportunities that relate to the privacy of children and young people as they interact with health and education services and the online world. To understand these challenges, in late 2023 we consulted with government agencies, professionals who work with children (teachers, doctors, nurses, etc), and non-governmental organisations who advocate for children and young people. We asked them for their thoughts on how to improve childrens privacy in New Zealand.
