Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

The care and protection resource panels have some important jobs. They give advice to social workers and other people who help children and young people in need. This advice is about how to use the powers and duties given to them by the Oranga Tamariki Act, Part 2 or Part 3, and some other sections like sections 7A to 7C and section 7E.

They also receive reports from care and protection co-ordinators about how they are doing their jobs. The panels help make sure that the community works together to provide services to children and young people who need care or protection, and to their families. They advise the chief executive on who should be appointed as care and protection co-ordinators.

The panels do these things to help children and young people in need, and to support their families. You can think of the panels as a team that helps make sure everyone is working together to keep children and young people safe. They play an important role in the community.
