Illustration for Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Act 2022

The Monitor has to do a review when the Minister responsible for the Monitor asks them to. You can think of the Minister as a person in charge who helps make big decisions. The Monitor will look at a topic that is part of their job.

When the Minister asks for a review, it does not mean the Monitor has to stop what they are already doing. The Monitor can keep doing their other tasks while they do the review. This way, the Monitor can keep an eye on everything that is happening.

The chief executive of Oranga Tamariki can also ask the Monitor to do a review. The Monitor will then look at the topic and see what they can find out. After the Monitor finishes the review, they have to write a report about what they found out.
