The Tāne Whakapiripiri Care Support Model (CSM) is a two-year partnership between Oranga Tamariki, Barnardos NZ and Key Assets Foundation.

In 2018, Oranga Tamariki in Canterbury identified a group of young people in its care who had a very high level of need and a history of multiple failed placements.

Regional leadership determined that none of the placement options available in the region were a good fit with the group’s needs and were unlikely to have better outcomes than the placements already attempted.

Oranga Tamariki invited Barnardos and Key Assets, two non-government organisations providing services for young people, to participate in a co-design workshop. The resulting model was a specialist group home for up to three tamariki at a time. The aim was to stabilise tamariki and prepare them for a permanent placement, using support characterised by a therapeutic and trauma-informed approach. (From the website). Record #6843
