The paper compares statistics on child poverty and maltreatment in New Zealand with overseas rates includes discussion on poverty, mental health and adult disease, and factors contributing to poor indicators for children in New Zealand. A background to the "Sure Start" programme for children in the UK is given. The results of a community consultation with a similar programme "Timata Pai"(start well) based in Wellsford are presented, along with proposed plans for a dedicated children's centre in the area. The authors' call for attention to New Zealand's obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in the development of services for children and families.
