Safeguarding Children

Safeguarding Children is not a statutory care or protection agency, which means we are unable to intervene directly in matters involving a child’s immediate safety. We provide training, advice and advocacy to help organisations and professionals keep children safe. If you are concerned about a child’s safety, you should contact the appropriate authorities, such as Oranga Tamariki or the Police, who are legally responsible for responding and taking action. To email Oranga Tamariki directly please click here.
