Opposition to the Oranga Tamariki Oversight Bill: March 03, 2022 Thursday, March 3, 2022
The Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System and Children and Young People’s Commission Bill states that it aims to provide independent monitoring and complaints oversight for Oranga Tamariki, and greater advocacy for children's and young people's issues generally through the creation of a new Children and Young People's Commission.
Jessica Hopkins had a kōrero with Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission Chief Executive Karen Orsborn and VOYCE Whakarongo Mai National Care Experience Lead Tupua Urlich about their concerns with the bill.
On their website, VOYCE says that the bill ignores reports on what independent and effective monitoring of the Oranga Tamariki system should look like.
