2. What specific programmes are available under youth justice plans and orders, that encompasses Tikanga Maori or Te Ao Maori for children and young people in the youth court

3. How much of the oranga tamariki budget is dedicated to funding Maori specific programmes? What percentage is that of the annual budget?

4. What MOUs or relationships are established between oranga tamariki and Marae, Hapu, Iwi or other urban Maori authorities

5. Since s 7AA was enacted in July 2019, what changes if any have occurred to social workers practises, social worker training, social report report writing to court and what cultural training has occured

6. Since 7AA was enacted, what new initiatives or strategies are in place by OT to reduce disparity between maori and non maori?

7. How much funding is allocated or available per youth offender in the youth court? What determines what services might be suitable or available to a young person? Is cost a primary consideration?
