In 2020 a number of external reviews of the work of Oranga Tamariki made recommendations that the agency develop advocacy services for parents and whānau whose tamariki had come to the attention of the agency.

This Evidence Brief is the first step in a wider research and information-gathering phase intended to inform the development of policy options for how such services could be designed and rolled out.

The purpose of the brief is to look at common definitions of advocacy and models used overseas, and to review the evidence on specific elements and critical success factors that lead to better outcomes for families and children.

It is not intended to be read in isolation – all ideas in this brief garnered from overseas need to be considered and tested in a New Zealand context, respecting local knowledge and expertise, particularly that of tangata whenua. (From the website). Record #7309
