46920 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: Further to 44077 (2024), have all staff in Oranga Tamariki secure residences received the comprehensive six-week training, induction and ‘ready for work’ assessment referred to in the answer; if not, why?

Hon Karen Chhour: The work programme referred to was closed in April 2025 at the end of its lifespan. The training referred to is now part of the Te Waharoa induction training for secure residences, which all new starters complete.
