National doesn’t want to see good parents criminalised for a light smack. The recent
referendum reinforces that most New Zealanders don’t want that either.
That’s why we’re looking at the policies and procedures used by New Zealand Police and
Child, Youth and Family when it comes to smacking.
The review will include the referral process between Police and CYF to help identify any
changes that will ensure good parents are treated as Parliament intended.
The Chief Executive of the Ministry of Social Development, Peter Hughes, Police
Commissioner Howard Broad and well known clinical psychologist Nigel Latta are conducting
the review.
