    IHC’s Consultation on the Government’s

    Review of Special Education

    The Review of Special Education is an important chance for family/whanau, advocates,


    educators and all members of the public to have their say about the changes they think need
    to happen in the New Zealand education system. IHC is aware of the longstanding concerns
    about the current system and we have lodged a complaint with the Human Rights
    Commission about the difficulties experienced by children, parents and schools.

    IHC is holding consultation meetings in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to gain as


    wide a view point as possible for its submission to Government. We will be explaining the
    document and the context in which the review is taking place
