We love healthy debate on our Facebook page. You are welcome to comment, criticise, praise or question our work and what we do.
What we can't and won't accept is bullying behaviour. Please keep your comments fair and the language suitable for a young audience. We have an automatic block on any words that are unacceptable. We have no hesitation in deleting any comments that are bullying, violent, make personal attacks (on anyone - including politicians) or inappropriate for a young audience. We will block anyone who continues to demonstrate this behaviour or uses unacceptable language.
We have young people visit this page and we'd like to model how to behave on social media - and ask that you do too.
Please do not disclose personal information about yourself or children/young people. If you want to talk to us about the rights or welfare of a young person, you can call us free on 0800 224 453 or email [email protected].
If you have an immediate concern about the safety of a child call the police on 111.
If you want to contact the Children's Commissioner you can email [email protected].
Our values of Aroha, Pono, Tika and Matauranga are central to everything we do. Including our activity on social media.
If you have concerns about anything on this page or wish to contact us for any other reason - please email [email protected]
