Information for children

If you are a child or young person in care, this information is for you.

  • Tell us what you think

    What you think, feel and say matters to us. We’d like to know how you are getting on in our care.

    June 14, 2019
  • Feedback form

    Please give us your feedback by using this form. It might be that something is worrying you, or you feel Oranga Tamariki has not done something right. Or something good has happened that you’d like to share with us.

  • How adults can help

    Children and young people have told us they would share with trusted adults concerns or ideas about the service they receive from Oranga Tamariki.

    June 14, 2019
  • Child statement of rights

    We talked to young people in care about what is important to them and what they needed, which helped us create the National Care Standards. These explain what your rights are when you are in care. Rights are things you should have to live a good life.
