flag New Zealand's child welfare system fails Māori children, report finds, urging systemic changes.

flag A report by New Zealand's Independent Children's Monitor reveals that the country's child welfare system, Oranga Tamariki, is failing to adequately support Māori children, who make up a disproportionate number of those in state care. flag The system, which includes the NZ Police and various ministries, is criticized for not providing timely and appropriate support, leading to worse outcomes for Māori youth, including higher rates of involvement in the justice system and lower educational achievements. flag Advocates and reports call for systemic changes to better support Māori children and break cycles of disadvantage.
