When tamariki and rangatahi move between care arrangements

We support te tamaiti or rangatahi effectively as they enter care, move to live with a new caregiver, move into or out of a residence, return home or live permanently with a new whānau or family.

Use of legal orders to support a safe, stable and loving home for tamariki in permanent care

Legal orders for permanent care can support security and stability for tamariki who have been in our care or custody and their caregivers.

Support for permanent caregivers

The permanent caregiver support package provides permanent caregivers and tamariki with support after their care becomes permanent and custody orders in favour of the chief executive are discharged. We help plan the supports for permanent caregivers.

Ensuring a safe, stable and loving home when tamariki are living with non-whānau caregivers

The primary responsibility for caring for and nurturing tamariki lies with their family, whānau, hapū, iwi and family group. If tamariki are in the care of non-whānau caregivers, our plans respond to their specific circumstances and care needs.
