The most significant decrease occurred during F2022 with a decrease of 15% compared to the year prior (around 12,150 fewer Reports of Concern in F2022 when compared to F2021). During the decrease, the Hasting’s event 1 in F2019 and effects of COVID-19 since F2020 could have had major impacts. The Hasting’s event had a profound effect on the ongoing transformation of Oranga Tamariki, while COVID-19 impacted all aspects of people’s life and behaviours. The extent of these impacts will be discussed in the report, but cannot be underestimated and may not have been fully realised. We have observed a small increase in Reports of Concern over F2023, slightly higher than the same period in F2022. This suggests the number may now be stabilising or recovering from its lowest point.
