Interventions

Family group conferencing practice standards

These practice standards cover the key practice requirements for care and protection coordinators, youth justice coordinators and social workers to support high-quality family group conferencing.

Disability

Working with disability and learning supports, mental health and ACC

We work in partnership with tamariki and rangatahi and their whānau or family and collaborate with health and disability services to ensure that oranga needs and aspirations are understood and well supported.

Practice approach

Work closely in partnership with others

I will engage and collaborate with key people working with each tamaiti, in order to ensure their full range of needs are identified and addressed in a coordinated way.

Care

We have a responsibility to assist rangatahi who are in, or have left, our long-term care or youth justice residential placements from the age of 15, to acquire the knowledge, skills, resources and supports they need to thrive.

Policy

We must endeavour to provide tamariki and rangatahi in the care or custody of the Oranga Tamariki chief executive with a smoke and vape free environment.
