Profile of Taranaki Safe Families Collaborative member: Child, Youth and Family

Child, Youth and Family works with families to:

  • Protect children
  • Promote the wellbeing of children, young people, their families and family groups
  • Manager young offenders
  • Facilitate the adoption process
  • Ensure that children in need are secure and cared for
  • Help families maintain and strengthen their child-rearing role

 

We also fund a wide range of community-based social services, with a focus on children, young people and families in need of support.

Children and young people who are at risk of, or who have been, abused or neglected, or who are at risk of offending are our primary service responsibility. This includes supporting families in need to meet their care and control responsibilities

Child Youth & Family address the deeds and meet the needs of young offenders,   with the view of preventing re-offending.

Child, Youth and Family also has an important role in supporting and funding a wide range of community-based social services, with a focus on children, young people and families in need of support.
