Children and young people are loved, safe and nurtured

Status:
Ongoing
Lead agency:
Oranga Tamariki
Action timeframe:
From May 2020

In response to the particular recruitment and retention challenges being faced by Iwi, Māori and NGO partners, funding over four years has been provided to further support their work. This funding will enable more qualified and experienced staff to connect with and help children, families and communities achieve their goals and improve their wellbeing.  A key goal is helping families get support earlier, so that Oranga Tamariki does not need to be formally involved.
