40042 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: What, if any, professional support mechanisms are in place to ensure the health and safety of staff and mentors working on the pilot military-style academy, which commences at the end of July 2024?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised that the young people and staff on the pilot will have access to the onsite clinical team as needed as well as mental health services. All Oranga Tamariki staff also have access to counselling through EAP services.
