The Green Paper on Vulnerable Children, released by Social Development Minister Paula Bennett, is an information and consultation document. 

Vulnerable children will have their needs best served when policies and practices across government sectors have common goals, are child-focused and are well aligned with one another. This could be achieved through developing an action plan with a focus on vulnerable children.  Programmes and services for vulnerable children have traditionally been delivered by government departments and other agencies without necessarily being well co-ordinated across the sectors. 

The Green Paper was developed by an independent expert appointed by the Minister for Social Development and Employment.  The Ministries of Social Development, Education, Health and the Families Commission were all involved.
