There are currently four agencies that have statutory care and custody of tamariki and rangatahi, and are being monitored under this legislation – Oranga Tamariki, Dingwall Trust, Open Home Foundation and Barnardos.

The report outlines findings for the six-month period from 1 July to 31 December 2019, including the three months from 1 July to 30 September 2019 covered in the initial report. Monitored agencies have provided responses on those findings. (From the Executive summary).
