Left further behind: how policies fail the poorest children in New Zealand
In 2008, Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) produced Left Behind, which reflected the position of children in New Zealand. Three years later, the lack of substantial progress on so many issues facing children in this country led CPAG to update that publication.The report reflects what is required to ensure all children have the resources and opportunities to grow and to develop their potential. The core message of this publication is simple: ALL children, irrespective of the status and position of their parent/carer, are entitled to the best possible support from their parent/s and all New Zealand society.
