The Children in New Zealand Communities Survey provides information about the attitudes and behaviours of the New Zealand public towards children and young people ‘at risk’ of not thriving. The survey provides, and will complement, evidence to guide the development and implementation of strategies, support and communications pertaining to how we care for our children and young people.

The key objectives of the survey are: 1) to measure and understand public awareness around the current state of child wellbeing in New Zealand (do people think we have a problem or not?); 2) measure public awareness of what child and youth vulnerability (and wellbeing) looks like; 3) measure public attitudes and understanding around the causes and implications of child vulnerability; 4) understand and measure who is perceived to be responsible for the wellbeing of children and young people; 5) identify barriers and motivations to acting; and 6) understand how widespread action-taking behaviours are, to support wellbeing and/or prevent vulnerability.
