Oranga Tamariki Confirms it is "dysfunctional", "inadequate" and "confused"
October 24, 2022
Oranga Tamariki has apologised over information it failed to provide RNZ about a botch-up of its work on sexual violence services.
A scathing review was eventually secured and exposed how a $40m project was badly mismanaged and shut down by Oranga Tamariki in 2021.
Oranga Tamariki had initially responded to an Official Information Act request, to say that no quality assurance report had been done.
When RNZ revised the request, the agency then provided the independent report which had found the project team was “dysfunctional”, “inadequate” and “confused”.
