N2  - This article highlights the role of key stakeholders in implementing changes of the Children, Young Persons and their Families Act (CYP&F) 1989. An international comparison pf care and protection processes shows that some western countries use the type of notification to determine response and investigation mechanisms. The article explores the foundation and objectives for policy changes to the CYP&F Act, 1989. Further discussions involve the care and protection process, Child Youth and Family's (CYF) response to the nature of child protection notifications. The article discusses a proposed differential response system for New Zealand, and child and family wellbeing assessments. Several challenges for implementing such a system are critiqued, including changing the practice culture, deciding how to respond to notifications in the most appropriate manner, and collaborative government and non-government agency relationships
