, and their whānau
Whānau refers to people who are biologically linked or share whakapapa. For the Monitor’s monitoring purposes, whānau includes parents, whānau members living with tamariki at the point they have come into care View the full glossary
and families, are meeting their needs, delivering services effectively, and improving outcomes.

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.
