Aaron Hendry: Kickback co-founder on Oranga Tamariki's report on Government boot camp pilot

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

A youth advocate says Oranga Tamariki's evaluation of the boot camp pilot tells us nothing we didn't know.  It's revealed six of the nine youth participants re-offended after being released - but less seriously than a cohort not included.  Kickback co-founder Aaron Hendry says these young people have experienced significant harm, including neglect, poverty and homelessness.  "It's about addressing the housing insecurity, it's about addressing the poverty, it's about actually supporting whanau as a community, to heal - and about support ensuring they have the right support and care around them to be safe."
