The Oranga Tamariki Amendment Bill makes a number of changes to the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989. By far the most important is to partially repeal the subsequent child provisions. The subsequent child provisions were enacted by the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Vulnerable Children) Amendment Act 2014 and came into force on 30 June 2016. The subsequent child provisions were introduced with the aim of improving the safety of the subsequent child. However, the provisions ended up being used in only a small number of cases.
