We want to hear from professionals who work with children (teachers, doctors, nurses, etc), and organisations who advocate for children’s rights because we’re keen to know whether our privacy rules create enough of a safety net around how children's personal information is collected and used.  This survey is anonymous, no personal information is collected and will take approximately 10-15 minutes to fill out.
We have also provided an NZSL translation of the survey.
Section 1 Background Information

Question Title

* 1. Who are you?

Why are we asking these background questions?
Answering these questions will help us understand if there are trends or themes around privacy concerns. This information will help us consider what protections or guidance we could develop to help children and young people across Aotearoa’s diverse communities.

This survey is anonymous, no personal information is collected. Once our survey and engagement has closed, we will publish a report that will explain all the themes we heard during our engagement – all examples in that report will be anonymous.

We ask that you do not provide information in your responses which could identify individuals.
