Jacqui Southey: Children's advocate on report showing Oranga Tamariki is still not meeting minimum standards for care
Early Edition with Ryan Bridge - Podcast tekijän mukaan Newstalk ZB
Clear areas for immediate improvement with Oranga Tamariki. The latest Independent Child Monitor shows the agency is still not meeting the minimum standards for children in care. One third of children are placed in care before caregiver assessments are completed, and social workers are only making 29 percent of caregiver visits they're supposed to. Save the Children Rights Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey told Kate Hawkesby there are two areas that should be top of the list to fix. She says that's getting the social workers with their children when they need to be, and making sure children are well supported and listened to.
