75669 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: How many contact hours, if any, has each mentor spent with their assigned participant on the Oranga Tamariki military-style academy pilot since the residential phase began?

Hon Karen Chhour: Corrected reply: I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that the exact hours for each mentor spent with their assigned participant is not held. I am further advised that each mentor is expected to spend 30 hours per week with the young person and/or their family/whānau. I am advised that in some weeks this number varies, depending on the young person's situation.
