We monitor compliance with the Oranga Tamariki Act and the associated National Care Standards Regulations. We do this through monitoring system performance and looking at outcomes for tamariki and rangatahi who engage with agencies in the system.

We also look at the quality of practice, and identify areas for improvement, across the wider oranga tamariki system under the Oversight of the Oranga Tamariki System Act.
