Oranga Tamariki plays a critical role in realising the Government’s vision that New Zealand is the best place in the world for children and young people.
It is a Ministry founded on a fundamentally different approach – one of listening and learning. It’s important that the voices of children and young people, families, whānau, hapū, and iwi, alongside caregivers, Māori organisations and NGO partners, are at the centre as we work with others to design a new way of doing things.
