Answer

I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that the specialist training referred to was conducted over four blocks in July 2026. I am further advised that 51 Korowai Manaaki staff attended, representing approximately 40% of the current frontline workforce. The titles of staff who attended included Case Leader, Residential Workforce Trainer, Residential Youth Worker, Senior Practitioner, Team Leader Clinical Practice and Team Leader Operations.
