There are distinctive impacts on children and young people separated from loved ones, for example in secure care and protection. Children need good information about the pandemic, and ongoing attention to their human rights to education, play, safe access to the online world, involvement in decision-making, and their right for them and their families to be safe, warm and well-nourished. The Human Rights Commission will continue to support work by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner, and other partners, to promote children’s rights in the pandemic and recovery. This publication begins with a section on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, followed by ten human rights ‘snapshots’, and a Conclusion with additional pointers for the future. I want to thank my colleagues who worked extremely hard to produce this short report in only a few days. Events are fast-moving and time is of the essence. We hope the report contributes to helpful discussion and constructive action. We welcome further engagement on these serious issues. If there are any slips, I take full responsibility for them.
