A series of accompanying videos have also been produced featuring whānau who agreed to be filmed telling their story. (From the document). This was published along with "Ko te wā whakawhiti - It's time for change", the Māori Inquiry report (#6523) in February 2020. The report and video are on the website. Background: The Māori Inquiry into Oranga Tamariki (The New Zealand Ministry for Children, also formerly known as Child, Youth and Family or ‘CYF’) was launched as a result of the continued inaction by the New Zealand Government to respond to ongoing serious issues in relation to the treatment of tamariki Māori and whānau Māori within the government child and youth care and protection system. The severe negative impacts on Māori whānau and tamariki are in direct contravention of Oranga Tamariki’s stated aim of ensuring children are where they can be safe, connected and flourishing.
