The Independent Children's Monitor says Oranga Tamariki still isn't measuring up to national care standards.
The percent of young people in OT care suffering abuse has increased from 8 percent to 10 percent in the year to July last year.
The report says a third of those in care aren't seeing social workers enough and only 11 percent had been given an assessment of their life skills.
Independent Children's Monitor CEO Arran Jones says it's important to ensure that children in state care are properly looked after - and this data isn't good reading.
