The bill does three things. It establishes the independent monitor of the Oranga Tamariki system to monitor outcomes for children and young people receiving services through the Oranga Tamariki system. The bill strengthens independent complaints oversight and investigations related to the Oranga Tamariki system, led by the Office of the Ombudsman. And, finally, the bill strengthens system-level advocacy for all New Zealand children and young people by establishing the Children and Young People's Commission to replace and enhance the existing Children Commissioner's functions. The independence of the commission has not been changed and will remain an independent Crown entity.
