What is the number of children overdue for Oranga Tamariki allocation to a social worker, if any, as of 31 December 2025 or most recent data available?

Answer

I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that as of 31 January 2026, there were 1495 children and young people overdue for allocation to a social worker. I am further advised that Oranga Tamariki have measures in place to monitor cases that are yet to be allocated, including triaging unallocated cases for urgency, monitoring unallocated queues, and reaching out to notifiers (those who make a report of concern) to seek updates when needed.
