A noted child welfare advocate feels more allegations will come out of Oranga Tamariki.

Two staff members at the organisation have been stood down for alleged sexual behaviour with young people over the past year, with two investigations launched.

Former Police Commissioner Mike Bush will conduct a review into the residences.

Child welfare advocate Merepeka Raukawa-Tait is unsurprised by these allegations- and suspects there's more to come.

"I think either the children are not valued and I'm coming to that conclusion. Also I think there are people that are working for Oranga Tamariki where possibly the due diligence hasn't been done well enough when they've been hired."
