If you are looking at how Oranga Tamariki works, an Ombudsman can ask them for information. They can also ask care or custody providers for information they need to make some initial investigations. The Ombudsman has the power to do this.
When the Ombudsman asks for this information, the rules from the Ombudsmen Act 1975 apply. This means the Ombudsman can use the same powers they would use under section 19 of that Act. The rules are adjusted to fit this situation.

An Ombudsman may require Oranga Tamariki or a care or custody provider to provide the Ombudsman with any information they consider necessary for the purposes of carrying out preliminary inquiries.
The Ombudsmen Act 1975 applies, with all necessary modifications, to the power in subsection (1) as if it were a requirement under section 19 of that Act.
