Illustration for Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Act 2022

The Monitor's job is to check how well the Oranga Tamariki system is working with other systems. You can think of the Oranga Tamariki system like a team that helps children and families. The Monitor checks if this team is following the rules, like the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989.

The Monitor looks at how well services are delivered to children, young people, families, and whānau. This includes checking if the services are good quality and if they are making a positive difference. The Monitor also checks the outcomes for children and families who receive help from the Oranga Tamariki system.

The Monitor pays special attention to how Māori children and young people are doing. They check if the services are helping them and their whānau, and if things are getting better over time. This helps the Monitor understand what is working well and what needs to be improved.
