Te Awatea Review 3(1) July 2005 : 9-11
This article presents qualitative research that examines the experiences of care and protection coordinators when consulting with a Care and Protection Resource Panel (CPRP). This consultation is required under s21 of the Children, Young Persons and Their Families Act (1989), and must occur prior to convening a Care and Protection Family Group Conference (FGC). Four focus groups involving 29 participants were held across New Zealand in the northern, eastern/western, Wellington/upper south, and southern regions. The findings of this study are presented under two headings: the process of consultation; and the CPRP contribution to the work. Some coordinators stated their contact with the panel was supportive. However, none of the participants felt that the consultation aided them when deciding about convening the FGC.
