Oranga Tamariki is being slammed over the death of five year old Malachi Subecz.
An investigation conducted by the Chief Ombudsman of New Zealand has found that Oranga Tamariki failed to do the bare minimum to protect Malachi Subecz from abuse from his caregiver in the lead up to his death.
Oranga Tamariki CEO, Chappie Te Kani, is here now to offer an explanation.
"I'm still awaiting the work of the Chief Social Worker, his work is broader and deeper than the Chief Ombudsman's investigation. But to be assured, once that review is completed, if the Chief Social Worker highlights to me that systems need to be improved or people held to account, I will do that."
