Show Notes
An Independent Children's Monitor report finds almost half the reports of concern relate to young Māori.
They make up two-thirds of those in care - and more than three-quarters in youth justice custody.
Voyce Whakarongo Mai Chief Executive Tracie Shipton told Ryan Bridge that change is possible.
She says it's a stark reminder if we get in early with wrap around services for whanau and young people, we can make a difference.
