“…The findings highlight the need for increased community consultation and collaboration with Indigenous organizations, which emerged as a shared priority among participants. Kemp et al (2022) presents the ethical framework “Kia Tika, Kia Pono - Honouring Truths,” which centers the voices and priorities of care-experienced Tamariki and Rangatahi. Grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and participatory rights frameworks, this framework promotes meaningful and culturally safe engagement with care-experienced children and young people, allowing them to contribute their knowledge and shape governance, policy, services, media, and research efforts.…”

“…Grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and participatory rights frameworks, this framework promotes meaningful and culturally safe engagement with care-experienced children and young people, allowing them to contribute their knowledge and shape governance, policy, services, media, and research efforts. In drawing on these frameworks and approaches (e.g., Kemp et al, 2022; Krakouer et al, 2018) practitioners can foster an inclusive and culturally responsive approach to support Indigenous children and break the generational cycle of family involvement with CPS.…”

This article reports on a study that provides insights into the challenges faced by practitioners in the Northern Territory (NT) who support families in enhancing child safety and well-being, particularly for children at risk of or exposed to domestic or family violence. Despite increased funding for programs aimed at improving children's safety and well-being, reports and substantiations of child maltreatment in the NT continue to escalate. Interviews with twelve participants from various organizations involved in child protection services, family support services, and residential care shed light on the existing gaps in support services, including limited resources for families escaping domestic violence and inadequate assistance for children transitioning from out-of-home care. The findings emphasize the need for early intervention services targeted at families displaying risk factors for child maltreatment. Additionally, community consultation is crucial for the design and implementation of support programs that align with the unique needs of communities, including the necessity of maintaining connections to community, culture, and family to address concerns related to meeting basic needs. The study calls for a comprehensive approach that integrates community input, cultural safety, and tailored support programs to bridge these gaps and facilitate lasting positive changes. By addressing these challenges, there is a potential to mitigate child maltreatment and improve the well-being of children and families in the NT, contributing to the overall welfare of the community.

“…For example, a recent study found higher rates of hospitalisation and mortality for children and young people who had been in state care, reflecting similar findings overseas (Pugh et al, 2023). Children and young people's subjective experiences are also often challenging, with, for example, significant gaps reported between the rights of care-experienced children and young people to participate in decisions about their care, and what those children and young people experience in practice (Kemp et al, 2022). Tamariki Māori (Māori children) are significantly overrepresented in the child protection system: according to the most recently published data, Māori children and young people are around 27% of the general population, but make up around 68% of children and young people in state care (Aroturuki Tamariki: Independent Children's Monitor, 2023).…”

Introduction: Widespread protests against Oranga Tamariki in 2019 led to six separate reviews in the following two years, the majority of which specifically focused on tamariki and whānau Māori. Now that the dust has settled on those reviews, what can be learned by revisiting them? Approach: This article analyses the key themes of each of the reviews. It finds that there are areas of concern common to all six, but that there is a major split within them on how to achieve the necessary long-term changes. Some of the reviews suggest that improvements can be made within the current system, while others suggest that only radical transformation will improve outcomes for tamariki and whānau Māori. Conclusions: Understanding the split between the reviews is important given the views of numerous child-protection researchers that more structural changes to the child-protection system are required if we are to address underlying problems. If the issues are more fundamental, then claims to reform may not only be inadequate, but they may also make the problem worse, by sustaining the systems which cause the underlying harms in the first place. The split in the approach of the reports reveals that it is not just “What do children and whānau need?” that matters, it is also “who gets to decide what children and whānau need?” Understanding these issues from a structural perspective remains crucial, and future reviews of the child-protection system which fail to address those underlying problems are unlikely to lead to effective long-term change.
