Arrun Jones: Independent Children's Monitor CEO urges Government agencies to update child protection standards after new report - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Government agencies are being urged to get on with changes to child protections.

A review in 2022 after Tauranga five-year-old Malachi Subecz was murdered recommended sweeping changes.

The Independent Children's Monitor says they haven't happened, and children are no safer today than when Malachi died.

Chief Executive Arrun Jones says these findings are disappointing.

"We'd hoped to see more progress, so it's disappointing not to have seen that."
