Caregivers

In this section
Assessing and approving caregivers and adoptive parents

We need to build engagement and trust with people wanting to care for tamariki and support them through assessment and approval.
Support for caregivers

It's important that our caregivers are valued and supported so they can provide the best possible care for tamariki.
Reviewing caregivers

All our caregivers (including section 396 provider caregivers) must have a regular review of their approval status and support needs.
Allegations of harm to tamariki by caregivers

The safety and oranga of te tamaiti is our first concern when an allegation of harm is made against a caregiver or there are concerns for oranga. We are respectful, fair, transparent and sensitive to caregivers’ needs during the assessment/investigation.
