Children and Young People's Commission
Children and Young People's Commission (Mana Mokopuna) was an independent Crown entity established by the New Zealand Government in July 2023 as a successor to the former Children's Commissioner. Like its predecessor, Mana Mokopuna advocated for children's rights in New Zealand, provided advice and guidance to the government and agencies, and lobbied for children in the decision-making process. The Commission consisted of the fulltime Chief Children's Commissioner, a deputy, and three Commissioners.
In late June 2025, the Sixth National Government passed legislation abolishing the Commission and reinstating the Children's Commissioner.
