The principles-based, cross-government Crown Response to the Royal Commission is coordinated and supported by a Crown Secretariat. The Secretariat is responsible for developing and driving the overall work programme, ensuring agencies' efforts are integrated, and acting as the Royal Commission's primary contact point for the Crown.  More information about the Crown Response is available at www.abuseinquiryresponse.govt.nz
