Children in care resources
Resources for sharing with children and young people in care or custody, and those working with them
We want to make sure that all tamariki and rangatahi in care or custody, and their family, whānau and/or caregivers know how to access help when needed.
We created a child-friendly video about the Oranga Tamariki oversight system, which can be shared with tamariki, rangatahi and their family and whānau. The video explains who’s who and that there is no wrong door to go to for help.
