Column 1

Children and Youth must be supported to thrive at home and at school. This includes having access to healthy Food at school and learning in healthy environments (see our Housing and Sustainable Communities Policy). Access to Education is a Human Right, and all learners should be able to experience inclusive education with appropriate support - see our Kaupapa Māori, Tagata Moana, Disability, Health, and Rainbow Policies, for example.  Inclusivity and accessibility may involve use of Digital technology. This policy is also highly connected to our Workforce, Research, Science, and Technology, and Media, Arts, and Cultural Heritage Policies.
