Relationship Agreement: Office of the Children's Commissioner and Oranga Tamariki

The Office of the Children's Commissioner and Oranga Tamariki recognise that they have shared aspirations for the implementation of the Oranga Tamariki Act, while accepting that the Office has an independent developmental, monitoring and investigative role. 

We are both committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and have a duty to advocate for and ensure meaningful engagement with Māori as tangata whenua. 

This Relationship Agreement reflects the commitments, work and values we share.

We believe that by working constructively together in these areas of shared commitment, we can have significant collective impact that would be lost if we worked in isolation.
