National Child Rights Agency
“In accordance with the enforcement of the revised Child Welfare Act, the institution’s official name will be changed to “National Child Rights Agency” starting May 12, 2026.
By explicitly including “National” in the organization’s name, the agency aims to strengthen its public responsibility and accountability, while helping the public more clearly recognize its role and duties. This change is expected to support child policy services more effectively.
We hope this name change will become a starting signal for changing “the present of children” and, furthermore, “our future.”
The National Child Rights Agency will do its utmost to play a central role in that change.”
