Health and dental care

We support tamariki and rangatahi and their whānau with information about health and dental care.

In this section
Measles, whooping cough and immunisation

We modify our usual social work practice approach in the context of a measles or whooping cough outbreak to prevent the transmission of these viruses.
Talking with tamariki, whānau or family and caregivers about the COVID-19 vaccine

This guidance supports kaimahi who work directly with tamariki and rangatahi and their whānau or family and caregivers to help them to have conversations about vaccination against COVID-19.
Resources about health and dental care

We can share health and dental care resources with parents and caregivers to help keep tamariki and rangatahi safe and well, and when tamariki or rangatahi are sick or have a health issue.
