s78 Report
Rodney Parsons made this Official Information request to Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children
The request was partially successful.
From: Rodney Parsons
Dear Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children,
Your website has the 2023 s78 report but not the 2024 one. Are you able to update the website with this?
Throughout the last several years there's been a reduction in cases. Without using the technical language, this presents the appearance that removals are reducing in children. Has there been a corresponding increase in the use of non-statutory instruments such as voluntary-care arrangements that have contributed to this, so that these children are still being removed from their natural parent but just not by using a statutory mechanism such as s78?
Yours faithfully,
Rodney Parsons
