Agency Responses

Monitored agencies are required to formally respond to our reports. They have 20 working days to respond to our Experiences of Care in Aotearoa and Outcomes for Tamariki Māori reports, and 35 working days to respond to our focused reviews. Once we receive these formal responses we have 10 working days to publish our report, alongside the responses we receive.

These responses often include commitments from agencies to do things that will address issues raised in our reports. We keep track of these commitments, what progress has been made, and whether it has made a difference. You can read the list of commitments dating back to our first full report in 2020/21 here.

Note: We are currently updating the agency commitments tables to reflect responses to our recent reports. Updated tables will be available in mid-March. In the meantime, you can read what agencies committed to in response to our reports in the agency responses below.
