You could also call this:

"The chief executive must assign a social worker to help you when you need support."

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

The chief executive must appoint a social worker to support you when there is a support order. This is part of the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989, which is a law that helps keep you safe. The law says the chief executive has to make sure you get the help you need from a social worker.

You can find more information about the law that changed this rule in the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Advocacy, Workforce, and Age Settings) Amendment Act 2016. This change happened on 1 April 2017. This means that the rule about appointing a social worker is no longer in use.
