The statistics
Statistics about the mahi we do and who our people are - social workers, caregivers and partner organisations.
Reports of concern
We're working in partnership with an increasing number of iwi, Māori and community organisations to help whānau earlier with issues that put tamariki at risk.
Every day, we receive calls and emails from the community – doctors, teachers, neighbours and police. Concerns relate to drug and alcohol addiction among parents, neglect, physical, sexual and emotional abuse of tamariki, and family violence. The total number of reports of concern is falling every year, from nearly 82,000 in 2017, to under 78,000 in 2021.
A diverse team
To meet the needs of at-risk tamariki we are a diverse group of professionals and community-minded individuals with specialist skills.
