Ensuring strong and effective safety nets to prevent abuse of children Report by Dame Karen Poutasi Joint Review into the Children’s Sector: Identification and response to suspected abuse - Joint Review into the Children’s Sector: Identification and response to suspected abuse, 2022 - electronic document (62 pages) ; PD
Released 1 December 2022
Note: Please be aware this report and the related reports from other agencies ocontain distressing content concerning the tragic death of Malachi Subecz.
This independent review by Dame Karen Poutasi into the children’s system response to abuse was commissioned by the Chief Executives of six public sector agencies. The review follows the murder of five-year-old Malachi Subecz by his carer Michaela Barriball in November 2021.
The 6 agencies that commissioned the review are:
Ara Poutama Aotearoa – Department of Corrections
Ngā Pirihimana o Aotearoa – New Zealand Police
Oranga Tamariki – Ministry for Children
Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga – Ministry of Education
Manatū Hauora – Ministry of Health
Te Manatū Whakahiato Ora – Ministry of Social Development.
Each of these agencies completed their own reports into their interactions – direct and indirect – with Malachi, his mother, his wider whānau, and Michaela Barriball. The Chief Executives of the 6 agencies then commissioned this review to identify whether the system as a whole could have done more to prevent harm being done to Malachi.
The review found 5 critical gaps that can result in a child at risk becoming invisible to the system and makes 14 recommendations to create stronger safety nets. (From the website). Record #7942
