Illustration for Children’s Act 2014

When the oranga tamariki action plan is approved by the Minister, it must be notified in the Gazette. It must also be published on a website that is maintained by or on behalf of the children's agencies, so you can access it at any reasonable time. The plan will be available on this website, along with details of how to find it.

The Gazette notice does not have to include the full oranga tamariki action plan, but it must tell you where to find the plan on the Internet. You can find the plan on the website, and it may include reports that were submitted with the draft plan for approval under section 8(1)(b).

The oranga tamariki action plan is made available to you in this way so you can see what it says.
