Children’s rights improving but action required on housing 'national emergency': CRA

The Government’s overall performance in providing for the country’s children is improving, but the Children’s Rights Alliance (CRA) says it is still failing miserably to deal with the “national emergency” of the housing crisis.

The CRA’s annual report card, which grades the Government’s performance over the past year against commitments it has made with regard to children’s rights and services, found that in 2017 the Government warranted a C- — an improvement on the D+ given to it in the 2016 report card.
