Established by the Government on 1 June 2018, the Commission on Children is chaired by the Chief Secretary for Administration with its membership comprising relevant Bureau Secretaries and Heads of Departments as well as members of the community. It is an on-going, action-oriented and high-level advisory body which provides overall steer on children initiatives; sets policy directions, strategies and priorities related to the development and advancement of children; and oversees its implementation. The Commission co-ordinates the efforts of various government bureaux and departments, teams up with different sectors and professions in society to safeguard the well-being of children and builds a pro-child and inclusive Hong Kong.
