The Office of the Minister for Children is adopting an evidence-informed approach to the development of the recreation policy. I recently launched the report of the public consultation which was undertaken to give all interested parties, including young people, a chance to have a say in the development of the policy. The findings of the research published late last year and the key issues emerging from the public consultation process are being considered by the Office of the Minister for Children and the recreation policy steering group in finalising the recreation policy. It is expected that the recreation policy will be published and made available to the public later this year.
