Hutia te rito o te harakeke

Kei hea te ko(ri)mako e ko

K mai ki ahau

He aha te mea nui o te ao?

If you remove the heart of the flaxbush

From where will the bellbird sing?

If you say to me

What is the most important thing in this world?

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) is launching its project on children and young peoples privacy. As a first step, professionals who work with children in sectors such as in health, education and social services, non-governmental organisations, and organisations who advocate for childrens rights, are encouraged to take part. OPC will be seeking the views of children, their whnau and wider community early in 2024 to coincide with the new school year. Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster says this piece of work is incredibly important and wide input is needed.
