Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

The chief executive will set up groups called care and protection resource panels. You can find out what these panels do in section 429. The chief executive decides what other jobs the panels will do.

The chief executive chooses how many people are on each panel and who those people are. When choosing people for the panels, the chief executive thinks about getting people from different jobs and organisations that help children and young people. These organisations can be volunteer groups, community groups, government departments, or government agencies.

The chief executive can change or end a panel at any time. They can also add new people to a panel or replace people who are already on it.
