from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

Chief Children's Commissioner Dr Claire Achmad talked to Nick Mills on the increase in harm for children in state care.

Dr Achmad said although this reduction is a good step, in other areas of state care the numbers are rising. Oranga Tamariki's annual report shows 530 children experienced harm in 2024, an increase of 23 children.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
