Community calls to end uplifts – Oranga Tamariki

Three separate inquiries into Oranga Tamariki’s policies and processes in relation to the protection of Māori babies have been launched this week following the investigation by newsroom.co.nz into the uplift of a newborn baby at Hawke’s Bay Hospital. A group of community leaders and workers are calling for an overhaul of the state agency and for uplifts to stop.
