Charles Chaplin "Observer, Sept 1954"Petition to the House Launched
August 2009
A petition calling on the House of Representatives in New Zealand to establish an Independent CYF Complaints Authority was launched today by Graeme Axford.
The petition calls on the House to give CYF Clients a Complaints system that will be Independent of the Ministry of Social Development and offer a just, fair and timely manner of investigating complaints surrounding the procedures practices and action of all staff employed or contracted to the Child Youth and Family agency.
So there remains is an urgent need for CYF to be accountable for the procedures and processes that are put in place and for all staff to be accountable for their actions, when dealing with Children and their Families. The horror stories of inaction, over zealous action and what seems to be a culture of arrogance within the agency must be stopped if New Zealand Children and Families are to be offered real help and truly protected from all forms of abuse.
The Petition Text can be read in full on this site, along with an indepth explanation of the intent and desire of the petition, along with the reasons why we say an Independent Authority is the only workable solution. read more >>
