This report synthesises the evaluation of the Transition Support Service (TSS) from July 2019 to 30 June 2023
The evaluation was a partnership between the evaluators (Malatest International and the Oranga Tamariki Evidence Centre) and the Transition Support Service team. The evaluation was informed by a series of activities
focusing on different aspects of the TSS:
● The first phase was a formative evaluation to provide early insights into specific aspects of TSS;
● The second phase was a process focussed evaluation to provide information about what was working well and where there were challenges;
● The third and final phase continued the process evaluation, and following full implementation included a focus on outcomes.

An annual evaluation plan was developed with the Oranga Tamariki TSS team and policy team to identify evaluation priorities. Information for the evaluation was sourced from interviews, annual surveys of young people eligible for transition support (the Just Sayin’ surveys) and analysis of Oranga Tamariki data about TSS. (From the Executive summary). Record #8720
