How to access caregiver support and development
Caregivers can access support and development so they're better able to provide safe and loving homes. We help to identify the caregiver support available so caregivers can better meet the needs of tamariki.
Care
Ensuring a safe, stable and loving home when tamariki or rangatahi are living with non-whānau caregivers
Primary responsibility for caring for and nurturing tamariki and rangatahi lies with family, whānau, hapū, iwi and family group. Plans need to respond to the circumstances and care needs of each tamaiti or rangatahi in the care of non-whānau caregivers.
Assessment and planning
Concerning fire-related behaviour
Concerning fire-related behaviour poses significant risks to te tamaiti or rangatahi and others, and can have serious immediate, short-term and long-term impacts on oranga. Serious underlying issues may contribute to concerning fire-related behaviour.
