Youth justice, Interventions
Working in the Youth Court Te Kōti Taiohi o Aotearoa
Tamariki and rangatahi charged with offences appear in the Youth Court, Te Kōti Rangatahi or the Pasifika Court. Te Kōti Rangatahi and the Pasifika Court work within the Youth Court legal structure and have culturally appropriate venues and processes.
Practice approach
Supervision
Supervision is a recripocal relationship between a supervisor (kaiārahi) and supervisee (kaitiaki). Within the Oranga Tamariki context, the term kaiārahi means to guide, mentor, lead, and the term kaitiaki means to guard, protect and care for.
Information sharing
Consulting about sharing information
We must consult with te tamaiti or rangatahi about disclosing their information. It is also good practice to consult with others whose information we are sharing if it is safe and appropriate to do so.
