VOYCE - Whakarongo Mai, which stands for Voice of the Young and Care Experienced—established in 2017, an independent charity organisation that helps to advocate for the approximately 6,000 children with care experience—should be listened to. The Government did not engage with VOYCE during the development of the bill. Unbelievable and a travesty. Then VOYCE submitted on the bill, thinking that the process of democracy would hear their account. But, again, their submission was not taken seriously.
