Both New Zealand and England recognise the importance of working with families in child protection cases. This commitment is reflected in New Zealand's Children, Young Persons and Their Families Act (1989), and England's Children Act (1989), which seek to enhance the wellbeing of families. This article examines the provisions under these pieces of legislation aimed at protecting children from abuse, and how these countries respond to and investigate child abuse allegations. The author critiques New Zealand's use of Family Group Conferences, and argues that the rights and wellbeing of the child should prevail over that of the family.
