With school starting again, and many families new to New Zealand, here is a reminder about the laws around supervision of children.

This link explains the law around when children may or may not be left home alone.

Here is a link to a very good article that discusses how complying with the law might look in practice, and offers things for you to consider.

If you need assistance with supervision, our BASC facility is one option. We know that many of our parents also support each other with care before and after school. Please talk to us if you have a problem and we will do what we can to help.
