Intelligence scan : Why the number of tamariki entering care is decreasing Oranga Tamariki Evidence Centre - Wellington, New Zealand : Oranga Tamariki, Ministry for Children, 2021 - electronic document (33 pages) ; PDF file

Published June 2021

The number of entries to care have fallen significantly over the past three years, with the most noticeable drop happening over the last year.

The information in this report provides a summary of the evidence found in the intelligence scan which may explain why the number of tamariki entering care is reducing. It covers three key areas: Changes to Oranga Tamariki policies, practices and processes; Numbers of tamariki Māori entering care; Support services available to whānau/families.

While Oranga Tamariki has made a number of policy, practice, and process changes, it is not clear what impact they are having on falling numbers of tamariki entering care. (From the report).

Data is shown in a 2-page infographic "What is happening with entries into care?" covering the 3 years 2017 to 2020. See the website for other related reports.
