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.
Care
Applying to be a caregiver or adoptive parent

Care
Care standards
The National Care Standards set out the standard of care that tamariki and rangatahi need to be well and do well while they're in care, and the support that caregivers can expect to receive.
The education screen
The primary purpose of the education screen is to provide information about the level of educational need for each tamaiti or rangatahi. Where the education screen indicates a high level of concern the youth justice coordinator will seek further consent for an education assessment.
