Child Matters says politicians need to be bold in making policies to address child abuse.

A damning report into the murder of five-year-old Malachi Subecz by his carer has found five critical gaps in the system.

It makes 14 recommendations aimed at ensuring there are interlocking safety nets in place, so another child doesn't endure the same thing.

Child Matters CEO Jane Searle told Mike Hosking the Government should accept all 14 recommendations, not just nine.

She says the recommendations are all important, including the one around mandatory reporting.

Searle says that's where New Zealand is lagging behind other countries.
