From the NZFVC

Oranga Tamariki - Ministry for Children has published statistics about children's experiences of harm while in the care of Oranga Tamariki. These statistics are the first data reported since Oranga Tamariki implemented a new system for monitoring harm.

One page summaries have been published for the first quarter (July - September 2018) and the second quarter (October - December 2018).

In the first quarter, from July to September 2018, 130 out of approximately 6000 children and young people in care had findings of harm. In the second quarter, from October to December 2018, 97 out of approximately 6000 children and young people in care had findings of harm. The number of tamariki Māori who experienced harm in care is proportionately higher than the number of tamariki Māori in care.
