Assessment and planning

Assessments

Conducting an assessment

We plan the assessment and then gather and analyse information, which we summarise using the Tuituia assessment report.

Intake and early assessment

Assessment is an ongoing process of building understanding to inform whānau or family and professional decision-making. Following a report of concern we build understanding across 3 phases, as needed – initial, core and full assessment.

Assessment for tamariki and rangatahi in care

We use the Tuituia assessment framework to understand the oranga needs and challenges faced by tamariki and rangatahi in the care or custody of the Oranga Tamariki chief executive, along with their strengths.

Specialist topics

We need to be able to recognise different oranga concerns and decide how we can best work with te tamaiti or rangatahi and their whānau or family to support them.

Planning

SMART planning

Good planning should follow the SMART principles: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timeframed.

All About Me plan to meet the needs of tamariki and rangatahi

The All About Me plan is designed to enable us to support and respond to the needs of tamariki and rangatahi in the custody or care of the chief executive in line with the National Care Standards.

Tamariki All About Me plan — child-friendly version

The Tamariki All About Me Plan describes how the needs of tamariki and rangatahi in care will be supported, as set out in the All About Me Plan, in a form appropriate to te tamaiti or rangatahi.

Responding to non-accidental injuries – multi-agency safety planning

We work collaboratively with professionals and whānau or family to secure the safety of tamariki with a suspected non-accidental injury.

Protect and support the development of tamariki and rangatahi within healthy whānau and families

This guidance focuses on building safety through relational, inclusive and restorative practice with whānau and families, and developing a plan that supports oranga and activates resources to keep tamariki and rangatahi safe.
