Sinopsis
More children are being harmed in Oranga Tamariki's care. The agency's annual report reveals 530 children in care experienced harm in the year ending in March - 23 more than the previous 12 months. There were more findings of emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect in this period - but an eight percent reduction in findings of physical harm. Instances of harm in secure residences fell for the first time - something the Children's Minister is celebrating. Karen Chhour told Ryan Bridge she's pleased by the 14 percent drop - as it shows recent system changes are yielding results. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
