Hui needed for Oranga Tamariki transition
Children’s Minister Kelvin Davis is keen to fund local hui to prepare to take over work now done by Oranga Tamariki.
There as $22 million set aside in the Budget for the transition.
Last week he met about 80 providers in Kirikiriroa and asked them how they intended to work together to make decisions and make sure the needs of whanau and mokopuna were being met.
“Waikato Tainui with Tukoroirangi Morgan there, he put up his hand and said ‘we will call another hui in the next couple of weeks, we’ll bring everyone together, we have to have this conversation.’ That’s what everyone’s been wanting, that’s what everyone’s been asking for, so that pūtea will help facilitate that to happen,” Mr Davis says.
